jimwillsher 64 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi In V5 we prevented users from disabling real-time file system protection. I don't see any option in v6 to do this (in ERA). We've applied password-protection to settings but it doesn't see to affect this. Could somebody highlight where this setting is please? Many thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,548 Posted February 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 4, 2015 Just to make sure, don't those users have administrator rights? UAC prevent users from temporarily disabling protection unless they have admin rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimwillsher 64 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks Marcos. Some have admin rights and some don't, but that's only to allow them to run some legacy software that only runs with admin rights. We still don't want them disabling ESET.

Administrators Marcos 4,548 Posted February 4, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 4, 2015 I've asked the engineers if it could be considered a feature for next builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geosoft 18 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 If you password protect the antivirus configuration, it should prevent users from disabling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimwillsher 64 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi geosoft I agree, it should but it doesn't (in ESET EEA 6). It did in V5. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geosoft 18 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Huh. I did not notice that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geosoft 18 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Actually, this appears to be a bug. If you pause through the context menu in the system tray the password is not required. But, if you use the pause button within the gui, password is required. I think Marcos needs to report this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,548 Posted February 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted February 6, 2015 Actually, this appears to be a bug. If you pause through the context menu in the system tray the password is not required. It was confirmed to be a feature as only users with administrator rights can disable protection temporarily, however, I've asked the engineers to reconsider it.

ccullamco 0 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I tried adding privledge users with Version 5.2.22.0 and users on MAC are still able to disable the protection. Is it happening on this version of 5 as well? hxxp://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2823 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it happening on this version of 5 as well? If non-privileged users can disable protection then it should be considered a bug. However, I assume this is one of the things that is tested during pre-release QA tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
