Why ESET loads so late in the boot process?

[Zulgrib 0]

Hello, using ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 Business Edition, ESET loads very late.

Here's a graph showing how late ESET starts loading : https://lut.im/dIyZxMO9nf/zD03RPT4WR2DamPa.svg

Why doesn't it start loading sooner? Taking full 10 seconds to load is slowing all services from multi-user and graphical targets to load until ESET service has loaded...

ESET is using LD_PRELOAD to inject a library, but is this library alone doing anything until ESET service has loaded?

Hi

Version 4 is so old that it is in no way capable of protecting against today's threats. Have you tried to upgrade to a more recent version? It might also solve the issue you are having.

I did not try other version because I didn't find one, do you have a link?

 

According to this page, the version I have is the latest.

Sorry, I did not see that you were talking about the Linux edition.

I did not see a Windows computer using systemd at this date. (As shown in the boot graph I linked)

Seems esets service is configured to start after network layer is prepared (network.target) and as you can see from provided boot record, there is almost no delay after dependencies are met.

Have you tried to open support ticket to diagnose longer startup times?
