Skier 7 Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 What a crock! I have just disabled this feature as it's such a blunt instrument. I downloaded a new version of a small utility I've used for years and after 10 minutes I still couldn't install it as Live Guard was still analysing it. Guess what? Live Guard has now been disabled. When downloading a file there needs to be an option to bypass/ignore Live Guard for those niche programs that most advanced users will use. 'Analysis' against a database will always cause issues/delays for these niche programs. New_Style_xd 1

The very few files that have been sent from my computer are generally examined and returned within 2-3 minutes. There is also an option in the pop up to ignore and continue.
Skier 7 Posted November 22, 2021 Author Posted November 22, 2021 Many thanks for your reply. I haven't seen an option to 'ignore and continue.'

There is such an option: Quote Exclusions The Exclusion filter allows you to exclude files/folders from submission (for example, it may be useful to exclude files that may carry confidential information, such as documents or spreadsheets). The files listed will never be sent to ESET labs for analysis, even if they contain suspicious code. The most common file types are excluded by default (.doc, etc.). You can add to the list of excluded files if desired. To exclude files downloaded from download.domain.com, navigate to Advanced setup > Detection Engine > Cloud-based protection > Submission of samples and click Edit next to Exclusions. Add the exclusion .download.domain.com. https://help.eset.com/essp/15/en-US/idh_config_charon.html?idh_charon_sample.html Edited November 23, 2021 by itman
Most Valued Members cyberhash 201 Posted November 22, 2021 Most Valued Members Posted November 22, 2021 Unblock is an option from the popup or like itman says you can change the way it works via setup.
Skier 7 Posted November 23, 2021 Author Posted November 23, 2021 Many thanks for the replies. I've disabled it in Setup as per the original post.
