itman 1,629 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Have no clue what could have caused WaasMedic_Agent.exe to appear on your desktop. However, there have been recent postings in regards to Eset firewall not working properly in Interactive mode. I assume you were in Interactive mode when the Eset firewall alert appeared? I would just delete the desktop entry and post back if this activity occurs for another process you create an Eset firewall rule while in Interactive mode.
