Daveywilks 0 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I have two issue and I'm hoping to solve one with the other. I have been auditing my fileserver access (with a product called FileServer+ from ManageEngine). It is throwing up a lot of READ DENY but from machine accounts rather than user accounts. On closer inspection it would seem that ESET is reaching out roughly every 3 minutes and trying to look at and the target of any shortcuts the user currently has visible in Windows Explorer mostly the Desktop. So I have two solutions to this, find out how to stop ESET from scanning the shortcuts. I have already disabled the scanning of mapped drives but I'm reluctant to exclude the entire fileserver path as more scanning can only be a good thing. The other solution would be to run the ESET service using a domain based service account that has rights to the shares on the server but I don't know how to change the service. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,935 Posted September 30, 2017 Administrators Share Posted September 30, 2017 Shortcuts are scanned like any other files, ie. when accessed by the operating system or other applications. You could try temporarily disabling automatic start of real-time protection and rebooting the system to see if it makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveywilks 0 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 If i uninstall ESET it doesn't happen so I know that's the issue. :-( It seems to do it a LOT less if I update to 6.6.2046 but I'm having other issue with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
