About Hips and advanced setup

I had to reinstall Eset Internet Security in April.  I noticed under hips advance setup drivers always allowed to load is blank.  Is there something I need to worry about or did something change?

Interesting.

As explained in multiple past forum postings, this setting is auto populated with all existing drivers at Eset installation time. This is to prevent any drivers from interfering with the Eset installation.

Th e problem was this setting was not subsequently cleared of all those drivers after the Eset installation completed. I considered this to be a security vulnerability and deleted all those drivers  after the Eset installation completed. 

Also in past Eset versions, I considered the setting a "placebo" one since I never observed Eset monitoring any driver loading activity.

Perhaps now Eset is finally monitoring driver loading and as such, has auto removed all the drivers it loaded in this setting.

I've installed v16.2.13 from scratch and the list was populated immediately. Couldn't it be that you have imported a config. xml after installation that might have reset the list of drivers?

When I open scan log during a scan I noticed something called Important warnings occurred but the scan was clean with no detections.  Here is a screen shot of it sits below detections occurred.

This is unrelated to the original question. For more details about the warnings/notifications, please check the log details. I assume that some files could not be scanned, e.g. due to insufficient permissions or being exclusively open by the operating system.

I will open another  topic about this because I don't see any important warnings unless can't open this or password protected are the important warnings.  Thank you Marco and itman
