GlennF 0 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 How do I stop this. I'm still on Windows 7 ESET Endpoint Antivirus 8.0.2444.0 Startup Scan in Progress The icon in the desktop tray spins all the time when my PC is on and slowing it down BIGTIME. If this can't be stopped I'm going to delete ESET and use some other antivirus software! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,231 Posted October 23, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 23, 2021 First of all please try uninstalling ESET Endpoint Antivirus and installing the latest version 8.1.2037 from scratch. Does the problem persist? A startup scan is run automatically after logon and update but should not take long, e.g. 1-2 minutes at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,231 Posted October 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 24, 2021 In order to update Endpoint to v8.1, you must download the installer from the web and install it or wait a bit until upgrade to v8.1 is offered. This make take 2 weeks or more. As to what version you should download, most likely you are using a 64-bit version of Windows so that's the version you should select on the download page.

GlennF 0 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 OK. Yes 64 bit is what I need. Does the installer seamlessly take care of removing 8.0.2044.0 and installing 8.1? Also, do I need to give it a license key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
