Bernard 0 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Why is EsEt Internet security blocking svchost.exe from my computer and router? Within an hour it has been blocked for almost 200 times. Do I need to deblock it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,189 Posted October 25, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 25, 2018 Please elaborate more on the issue that you are having. However, first of all make sure that you have diagnostic logging of all blocked communications disabled in the firewall setup. We need to know what exact issue blocking of the communication causes.

Bernard 0 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 I don't have an issue yet, just curious. I'm new to this product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By what he describe I think he is talking about Eset Firewall blocking "svchost.exe" connections. Edited October 25, 2018 by razorfancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if he was running with Eset default firewall settings, that wouldn't be the case since it allows all outbound connections including svchost.exe. Eset's Web Filtering now monitors svchost.exe traffic but I have never seen anything blocked from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard 0 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 It was Eset Firewall (Home monitor) blocking indeed. It blocked svchost.exe and also my wifi-router. I deblocked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably think you got those 2 blocks because you set your network as public in your PC instead of home network but maybe @Marcos can clarify this. https://support.eset.com/kb3754/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US Edited October 25, 2018 by razorfancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard 0 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 @razorfancy You are right, I changed the settings to a home network now. The public network caused this problem. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
