Purpleroses 25 Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 I know all secure browser is on by default. But can I disable that or do I leave that on. Just wondering when I'm watching Netflix or any other streaming channel in a browser like Firefox should secure all browsers be on?
Administrators Marcos 5,736 Posted October 28, 2022 Administrators Posted October 28, 2022 Currently it's possible to choose between securing all browsers and redirecting to a secure browser. In the future it will be only possible to enable to disable Banking and payment protection since redirection to a secure browser will be removed completely. micasayyo 1
Purpleroses 25 Posted October 28, 2022 Author Posted October 28, 2022 So it is alright to watch streaming sites and do searches in the secured browser?

Question: currently in EIS, when disabling Banking and Payment Protection, it warns the user that protection is downgraded, pretty much requiring that it be left enabled even thought the user might not want it. If someone does not want to enable the Secure all Browsers feature in future updates, and disabling Baking and Payment Protection will be the only way to avoid it, will EIS continue nag the user that it should be enabled to achieve full protection?

Purpleroses 25 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Posted October 29, 2022 Thank you Marco. I noticed something. When I click on Eset Icon on my task bar and then close after looking at something. I noticed in my task manager that is Eset Main Gui I running . I thought once you closed the interface that would stop until you opened it again. I noticed it happened a couple of times where it was still running in task manager.

In prior Eset versions, it would eventually disappear after Eset GUI was closed. Appears with ver. 16, Eset just kept in running.
Purpleroses 25 Posted October 29, 2022 Author Posted October 29, 2022 Thank you itman. I also noticed egui.exe running in the task manager and not ending.
Administrators Marcos 5,736 Posted October 29, 2022 Administrators Posted October 29, 2022 The Egui.exe process should terminate automatically if gui is not open for 20-30s.

It's not terminating in ver. 16. Also odd is it's running as a stand alone process versus as a child process of ekrn.exe. Edited October 29, 2022 by itman
itman 1,923 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 More odd is Process Explorer does show that it is running as a child process of ekrn.exe:

The Eset Main GUI process should only be running when the Eset GUI interface has been accessed. It should auto close itself in a short time after exit from the Eset GUI interface. If its constantly running on your ver. 16 installation, you might have to uninstall/reinstall Eset to straighten things out.

Administrators Marcos 5,736 Posted October 30, 2022 Administrators Posted October 30, 2022 Don't run a scan but keep GUI idle and check again.

Either Eset pushed a fix for it, or we have an intermittent issue here. In the case of the later, it will be difficult to diagnose the source.
itman 1,923 Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) @Marcos, I found the source that keeps Eset Main GUI process running. It's Win 10 standby mode which was my initial suspect. Upon resume from standby, open Eset GUI. Upon close of Eset GUI, Eset Main GUI process keeps running. Specifically, Win 10 sign off first. Then, PC entering sleep mode while signed off. Given all the past issues I have had with Eset networking upon resume from standby mode, add this one to the list. Edited October 30, 2022 by itman
itman 1,923 Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) I was able to terminate Eset Main GUI process by killing TpReleaseCleanupGroupMembers thread via Process Explorer. This in itself was interesting. Thereafter, Eset Main GUI process starts upon access to Eset GUI and stops upon close of Eset Main GUI process. -EDIT- It gets weirder. After terminating that thread, the issue of Eset Main GUI process staying running after return from standby no longer exists! Me thinks perhaps a rogue ntdll.dll: Faulting application name: egui.exe, version: 10.30.8.0, time stamp: 0x634ebbab Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.19041.2130, time stamp: 0xb5ced1c6 Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0x0000000000052d08 Faulting process id: 0x7a4 Faulting application start time: 0x01d8ec8ce6951c5f Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Security\egui.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll Report Id: 144718a8-688d-446f-b258-951d7fb063b1 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings after a cold system startup.

czesetfan 43 Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Something will be wrong with the Main GUI. ⚠️Here is a mention of a ready fix for some issues. https://forum.eset.com/topic/34215-good-update/#comment-157988 I don't know if this will solve everything.
