Disabling ESET LiveGuard Advanced

[Trooper 66]

Hi folks,

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to disable this on an endpoint.  I tried doing it from "Deactivating Products" on the endpoint and selected it.  It took a few minutes and it was gone.  Then a few minutes later it appeared again.  I assume this is because it was selected to be "on" for the policy I have set on a large batch of computers in this container.

So I created a separate container and removed this option from the policy.  Next I deactivated it from the endpoint I want to disable this on.  So far it has stuck.

Is this the best way to do this?  Or is there an easier way?

Thanks.

You can disable ESET LiveGuard Advanced via a policy here:

That is pretty much what I did.  However I had to create a new container as all computers have it enabled per my policy applied to that container.  But that would turn it off for everyone which I do not want to do.

Developer machines.  It was sending too many files to the cloud and causing issues when compiling code etc.  Or if they needed to install something the 5 minute wait for it be deemed ok was killing them.

Maybe the policy is overridden by another one. Enforce the setting to ensure that another policy does not override it:

However, a much better and safer solution would be to exclude the folders that projects are compiled in from submission:

With our Developers, that is almost impossible.  For the few machines we have I am comfortable with having this turned off.
