Sean Nash 1 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Hi, This has started since February 2021. Whenever I login or restart my PC, I receive an email as below: I have reported this to ESET support several times since April, but no response yet! Is there any real support for the users or only bots? I am very disappointed with ESET support. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 3,736 Posted June 6 Administrators Share Posted June 6 It looks like you keep logging into your phantom account. You should avoid that and log into your regular password-protected account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should avoid that and log into your regular password-protected account. I was not loging into my phantom account at all! I always log into my owen user account only and right after than I receive this email. I think there might be a secutiry risk or my system might be hacked or a trojan! Please guide me! Thank you!

Administrators Marcos 3,736 Posted June 7 Administrators Share Posted June 7 It looks like you have 2 machines with the same name and different phantom accounts. Do you use a dual-boot system and Anti-theft is enabled on both? One phantom account is S...E and the other one is D...A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't delete D... or rename it. But considering these alerts problem had started before creating the second phantom account, it couldn't be the reason.

Administrators Marcos 3,736 Posted June 8 Administrators Share Posted June 8 We've made a fix to the double phantom accounts. Have the notifications stopped coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have completely turned the phantom account login notifications off! I tried logged in hours ago and have not received any notificaiton email!

Sean Nash 1 Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 Is really there any reason you might guess why am I receiving these anti theft emails? Am I at risk of a trojan or virus or hack attack? Please let me know how can I get assured on this concern? Anytime I login to my computer I receive the anti theft email notification alerting someone has loged into my phantom account. Looking forward to hearing from you support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COStark26 7 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 This is a "cousin" to my Mobile Security issue where there were many instances of "Incorrect screen lock code entered" = Suspicious Activity, AND the Incorrect entries were Not By Me. My daily Lock Screen code entries Always Worked. The phone showed Locked "Sometimes" BUT Actually was not; Backspacing, etc. always returned the screen. Re-install didn't help and I accepted that Sppt had an understandably hard time diagnosing something from x thousand miles away. I DID wonder IF someone was remotely attempting a Login, even though 98% of my "pretty cautious" web surfing is via desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please create a new topic for your probelm to get answered. Thank you! COStark26 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COStark26 7 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I DO have a Thread in the Mobile Security Forum. I was attempting to show, assuming commonality in mobile & desktop Eset, that the Apps were sensing Non-user caused issues, and maybe Sppt knowing similar "phantom" intrusions were occurring might help. No intent to steal your thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
