Administrators Marcos 5,143 Posted February 9, 2014 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2014 A computer restart is required after an upgrade for new drivers to load. Perhaps the error is from a time when the computer wasn't restarted yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the error is from a time when the computer wasn't restarted yet. This was post reboot. HIPS is currently enabled in advanced setup.

Administrators Marcos 5,143 Posted February 9, 2014 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2014 Do you mean you're still getting this error after the computer was restarted? The protection status seems to be green so HIPS must be protecting your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siljaline 57 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Do you mean you're still getting this error after the computer was restarted? The protection status seems to be green so HIPS must be protecting your computer. Yes - the error was seen one time post installation. HIPS is now working as there have been no events logged of this type since several additional reboots. Appears to be fine for now but I'm going to leave the open as it may be a teething problem and not much else. Will report back as soon as I spot something.

siljaline 57 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Windows Reliability History shows an unsuccessful installation as noted - the latter was successful - I suspect this was what caused the event flag. Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: ESET Endpoint Antivirus. Product Version: 5.0.2225.0. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: ESET, spol. s r.o.. Installation success or error status: 1602. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Utah 0 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 any updates to this? Have you found your HIPS is working on the client workstation? I have recently upgraded my own workstation from nod32 4 to endpoint antivirus(ver 5) and got the exact same error message as you, only once. I rebooted and haven't seen anything since. Just wondering what else i need to check to make sure this is working before i start rolling out updates to my other clients' workstations. also, how do you view the installed components? thanks.

Administrators Marcos 5,143 Posted February 20, 2014 Administrators Share Posted February 20, 2014 It is pretty normal and expected that you'll get this error after an upgrade, before restarting the computer. A computer restart is required for the HIPS driver to get loaded so that ekrn can communicate with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to make sure this was correct before proceeding with push installations of other clients. Once i restarted my workstation, i did not get another error and my HIPS said enabled inside the antivirus program. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siljaline 57 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 It appeared to be a one-time only event and has gone away. I have renewed inspiration with ESET AV. Screen capture attached to show all good here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemecekCole 0 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 You should go into Advanced Setup and check the HIPS status there. All forty some clients of mine are showing this error in Remote Administrator and under Advanced Setup there is a red dot next to HIPS. I have tried uninstalling/rebooting/reinstall to no avail. There are threads all over for years with this problem and no clear solution.

NemecekCole 0 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Okay, apparently the red dot is not a bad thing. I updated the package manager to version 5.0.2228.1 and did a fresh install on the test machine and after a reboot the HIPS error does not show up in Remote Administrator but the red dot is still there in Advanced Setup.

Administrators Marcos 5,143 Posted March 29, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 29, 2014 Please post a screen shot as I have no clue what red dot you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siljaline 57 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 I would think the poster is referring to HIPS in advanced setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
