Most Valued Members peteyt 393 Posted April 11, 2017 Most Valued Members Share Posted April 11, 2017 Since updating to the latest version 10.1.204.0 I noticed a change. When right clicking on the Eset icon in the taskbar I can see the firewall disable option (pause) alongside other options. However the pause protection option that used to be there is missing. Is this intentional and if so would eset consider bringing back the option. It was very handy having it there. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Most Valued Members cyberhash 188 Posted April 12, 2017 Most Valued Members Share Posted April 12, 2017 Not upgraded yet myself, but would agree with you that the pause protection quick link can be handy on occasion. Would also like to see it back if it's gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooops My bad I don't have it either.... Edited April 12, 2017 by SCR Bad Information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corso 1 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I've noticed it too right away since i use that tray option often. Makes no sense they removed it. Hope they fix it back again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,659 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I suspect this was done for security reasons. Cybellum, a while back, caused quite a public stir by showing a number of AV security vendor products could be disable/bypassed since they were not running in Windows 10 protected mode or otherwise locked down. Whereas Eset's kennel process does run in protected mode, the gui process does not. Eset subsequently "tightened up" the gui's self-protection. However, the Eset desktop icon options are not technically part of Eset's gui processing but rather extensions of it. So clever malware could access those desktop icon options and disable all of Eset's protections by enabling the "Pause Protection" option; namely its realtime protection.

Wouldn't that mean they should also have removed the disable firewall part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itman 1,659 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Some AV products use a CAPCHA screen when temporary realtime protection disable is requested. Problem is that current malware has shown to be proficient in bypassing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itman 1,659 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Actually there is a faster way than the screen shots posted. Open the Eset GUI and go to the "Computer Protection" screen. Close the GUI. The next time you open Eset's GUI, it will go directly to the "Computer Protection" screen where you can pause the real time protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrcoluk 2 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 the pause protection is useful for me, please re add it. I have a password enabled so to pause that password has to be entered. Perhaps make it so it still shows if a password is set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if Eset would ever consider allowing users to add their own quick links e.g. if there's a specific feature you turn on/off regularly, allowing the user to choose that option when right clicking on the icon e.g. this would allow someone to add things like gamer mode for easy access.
