guitardood 0 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just noticed in my 'dmesg' log and in /var/log/system.log, multiple entries of "ESET's RKD kext started" and "ESET's RKD kext unloaded". Cannot find any reference to this via Google and am wanting to confirm that this is, in fact, part of Cyber Security Pro. Systems are running latest El Capitan. ESET version is 6.4.200.1 Can anyone confirm/explain what this RKD is? Best, Guitardood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Moderators Peter Randziak 948 Posted August 16, 2017 ESET Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hello, it is a kext used for the Rootkit detection. Regards, P.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitardood 0 Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks for the response. I kind of assumed that it was Rootkit Detection, but my real concern is I've been seeing it start & unload often as of the last few days. Was there a pushed update or Apple update, changing Cyber Security Pro's behavior or do I need to be concerned about a system infiltration?

ESET Moderators Peter Randziak 948 Posted August 18, 2017 ESET Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hello Guitardood, we were continually enabling this feature for more and more users so there was kind of update regarding this. In case of a system infiltration it should trigger a detection with an red alert so in case you haven't seen it you can use it without concerns. Regards, P.R.
