What version of EAV do you have installed? Did you upgrade from an older version? Do you have the system temp folder on the system volume? Have you tried uninstalling EAV and installing the latest version from scratch?

I have ESET INTERNET SECURITY 10.0.390.0 (i think)

Ok,I've moved your topin to the appropriate forum. Please also answer the other questions as problems with real-time protection are known to occur after upgrade when the system temp folder is on other than the system disk volume.

I have the same problem, only solution I have is to manually reinstall NO32 after every produkt update.

Extremly annoying. either that or living with  ahalf workin produkt??

Because there is no way to move slider and reenable the antivirus protection, i have tried resetting all settings etc to no avail.

 

So reinstall, and if this keeps happening every time, uninstall and switch to a secure solution that actually is enabled after updates.

Couldn't it be that you have the temp / tmp variables set to point to other than the system volume?
If it points to C: (typically C:\Windows\temp), the issue should not occur.

This problem will be addressed in future versions.

Wow, really? well I really can't change that, when is that fix supposed to be complete?

Is there a workaround in the meantime? I'm encountering the same problem with 10.1.219.0, apparently because my temp folders are not on the system volume.

Edit: The solution posted here worked for me:

Setting those environment variables to default system locations, reboot, install the Eset update, reboot, reset environment variables to non-system volume locations, and reboot should work unless I am missing something.

Also Win 10 locked down C:\Windows\temp, so using another location is a security risk.
