karaszumu54 0 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Real-time protection of ESET IS v13.0.24.0 (not a manual scan !!!) with the latest database gives false alerts, If I start Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool under Windows 10 64bit Pro v1909 build18363.535. Only when I start Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, Not when downloading it!

There seems to be a good explanation on Pg 3 of the Link at bottom of your post of what is happening to cause the ESET Popup. An Exclusion for -- kvrt.exe -- allows Use with No Popup but I presume you, like the post-er, assume the Removal Tool could have a future Virus and you want ESET to adjust to the Kapersky App, Right?

Yes, because, as with all false alarms, the real solution most often is to have the manufacturer fix the problem. Exception can only be a temporary solution. The solution is never the exception, as the program may be infected in the future. With exceptions, I always punch a hole in my defense system. The exception is a hole in the defense.

The exception is a hole in the defense. Then just don't use KVRT. Eset is not alone among security software manufacturers in stating that compatibility with those products is not guaranteed and use of them is not advisable. So don't expect Eset "to go through loops" in resolving this. If you want to run another AV product of this nature, do the logical thing. Disable Eset's real-time protection prior running the product. When the product scan is complete, re-enable Eset's real-time protection. However, disabling Eset's real-time protection should immediately activate WD's real-time protection. It is entirely possible WD could also block KVRT. If so, you will also have to complain to Microsoft. -EDIT- Rather than disable Eset's real-time protection which will cause WD to kick in, a better way to do this is to select the "Pause Antivirus and antispyware protection" option. This will not cause WD to kick in. Edited December 14, 2019 by itman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Should I turn off ESET protection? KVRT is not a real-time protection. If I get a false alarm when using a program, shouldn't I use that program? I'm sorry, but it's ridiculous.

Thought I answered this above. Correct, KVRT is not real-time protection. However, it is an AV solution and its execution can conflict with the existing AV real-time solution. Therefore the existing AV real-time solution should be temporarily disabled when KVRT is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,907 Posted December 14, 2019 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2019 The file is not detected any more. However, whether issues may occur when using the tool together with another AV if ignoring the warning from the tool, you should ask the maker of the tool.

Kaspersky's support also suggested this. By agreement between the antivirus vendors, the manufacturer of the false alarm software will always correct the error (false alarm). This is logical as well. ESET gives a false alarm, ESET needs to correct the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mean that every AV maker would have to have an agreement with every company or person in the world that compiles files and creates applications. It is obvious that AV makers fix false positives in their own interest as well. Also I wrote that the detection was fixed so your conclusion is incorrect.

Not sure what exactly you mean by "supports" but a correct way how to report false positives is following the instructions at https://support.eset.com/en/submit-a-virus-website-or-potential-false-positive-sample-to-the-eset-lab.

ESET Moderators Aryeh Goretsky 366 Posted December 16, 2019 ESET Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2019 Hello, The email address you mentioned is, I believe, for ESET's Hungarian distributor. While they can certainly receive your report and forward it to ESET's threat lab, it is always going to be faster to contact ESET's threat lab directly using the instructions my colleague @Marcos provided. False positive reports are treated with high priority by ESET, and the lab is staffed 7×24×365 with experts who can investigate them.

karaszumu54 0 Posted December 25, 2019 Author Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) Again, the same false alarm occurs when running the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool. A few days ago, I sent an email to sample@eset.com, but I did not receive an automatic reply to the email appearing on their computer and the error could not be corrected. The ESET database is updated automatically on a regular basis. Edited December 25, 2019 by karaszumu54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears this is a new version. At least, the file size is different from a previous ver. I recently downloaded. Since Eset is detecting it via behavior methods, this situation is going to occur every time the program is changed. The best way to prevent this is to set an Eset permanent Augur real-time exclusion for the program. If you're concerned over the download security status, submit it to Virus Total, Hybrid-Analysis, or wherever for a scan prior to executing the download. The real question is why are you constantly running this Kaspersky tool? It real purpose is to run an off-line scan when you suspect you might be infected with some malware: Quote Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is a free tool that scans and disinfects Windows-based computers. The tool detects known types of malware as well as advertising software and applications that may be used for malicious purposes. For more information about such applications, see this article. Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is designed for one-time virus scan as it does not feature database updates and will not protect against new threats. Once the scan is complete, install an antivirus solution on your computer to ensure real-time protection. https://support.kaspersky.com/8528 Bottom line - this tool should not be run on a continual basis. Eset's Online Scanner tool does the same w/o any conflict with the existing Eset installation. Additionally, this Eset scanner uses current signature definitions.
