tmuster2k 22 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I was wondering if anyone had a good explanation as to what this ESET driver file does. I was under the assumption that any driver file that has fw in it had to be associated with Firewall driver and related to ESET Smart Security yet this file also shows up after installing NOD32. The driver is located in system32\drivers. I did find a ESET KB that said this file did have something to do with POP3 and HTTP checking and other descriptions are just that its firewall drivers.

Administrators Marcos 4,720 Posted July 23, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 23, 2014 It's a NOD32 Antivirus driver responsible for filtering application protocols http/https, pop3/pop3s, imap/imaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 But he says this driver is also installed in ESS. I can't found it on my system (with ESS). And under what name is this driver registered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And under what name is this driver registered? ESS uses epfwwfp.sys. It's registered under "epfwwfp" (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\epfwwfp).

rugk 397 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Ok, then @tmuster2k you maybe wrote the wrong driver name in your topic title. You meant: Name: epfwwfp Display Name: epfwwfp Binary path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\epfwwfp.sys = %windir%\System32\drivers\epfwwfp.sys Edited July 23, 2014 by rugk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugk 397 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) OK, but I can say that the service "Epfwwfpr.sys" does not exist in ESS. Edit: There is no r at the end of the driver sys. It's epfwwfpr.sys. Edited January 6, 2015 by rugk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
