Saman Izadi 0 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Hi, I'm Saman, and I noticed that there's a warning every time I boot into my laptop, it says that my Anti-Theft is not fully optimized, when I click on that, it says I need to make a phantom account, but I don't want to make a phantom account for several reasons : 1 - My pc has auto-login on so there's no point of making that, ESET thinks every account is "password protected" but there's only 1 account and it's without password 2 - My laptop is slow, it takes a long time to boot, and I don't want to make it even longer as having 2 accounts makes the login screen take longer because of the personalization options 3 - I don't want a random account without password on my pc 4 - It won't actually help me, I just want anti-theft, not the phantom account Sadly, there's no option to dismiss/ignore this (I think) , I get it on every time I boot, on the site, and, it's just annoying. I hope the dismiss option gets added soon. Or maybe I just can't find it, anyways... Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,358 Posted June 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 8, 2021 Are you getting the notification even if you disable Anti-Theft on the machine? Without Phantom account enabling Anti-Theft doesn't make much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saman Izadi 0 Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) No, I don't want to disable Anti-Theft, but I don't want a Phantom account either. If I disable Anti-Theft everything will be ok, but I don't want to disable my whole Anti-Theft thing only because of* a notification. I just wanted to make sure that there's no way to have Anti-Theft without a Phantom account. Basically, making a phantom account in this situation doesn't make sense, I already have an admin account without password protection, so basically that "Phantom account" will get full access, so there's no point of making it, and that's why I don't want a Phantom account, but I want anti-theft Edited June 9, 2021 by Saman Izadi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Solution Marcos 4,358 Posted June 9, 2021 Administrators Solution Share Posted June 9, 2021 It is not possible to use Anti-Theft without a phantom account and no warning. Having a phantom account is essential; otherwise a thief would not be able to log in and thus trigger a suspicious action that would be reported to AT.
