Can´t uninstall ESET FIle Security for Linux


Recommended Posts

I have uninstalled ESET File Security for Linux, but it never fully uninstalls; remnants of folders and services always remain. How can I completely uninstall it? Is there an esetuninstaller for Linux? Now it appears in the console like this:

Linux
  Versión de sistema operativo
8.9
  Nombre del sistema operativo
Rocky

Can someone help me with this?

ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition sounds like a legacy endpoint product that is quite old and is not even listed at https://support-eol.eset.com/en/policy_business/product_tables.html.

I'd recommend raising a support ticket to find out what Endpoint product you have installed and why it could not be fully removed automatically.

The product we installed is ESET File Security, and it was working fine, but suddenly it stopped working. So, we proceeded to uninstall it, and after uninstalling, it appears as Nod32. I think it's a misinterpretation of the console, but we have never installed Nod32 on that server.

Hi Mauricio, is it possible to share with us system logs? It is weird behavior, because uninstall is managed by system package manager (in your case dnf).

Hi,

I have checked provided logs, but there is no info in management agent logs about detection of Nod32. If it is still possible, could you check if following folders /opt/esets/, /etc/opt/esets are existing on affected machine?

Thanks.

Interesting, most probably it was really some misinterpretation of console, that nod32 appeared there. But back to the initial question, File Security uninstall is proceeded by system package manager, who is responsible for cleanup and removal. He can decide to left back some directories/files, but there is always some reason for it (e.g. some unknown file unrelated to package is present).

The core of the matter is that every time we reinstall, the antimalware does not work. The EFS service does not start in the system and we have not been able to get it to work. The server meets all the minimum requirements described in this KB: https://help.eset.com/essl/10.2/es-ES/installation.html?system_requirements.html

How can i fix this?

Hi,

I have once again checked provided logs, but I can't see there anything about File Security installation. Without proper logs I'm not able to identify issues you are encountering. Please try to run installation of File Security on affected machine and after that collect system logs. 

Thanks,

Kurco

Hi @kurco

Thanks for your answer. Attached you will find the logs after installation. I thank you very much. 
Here you can see an image of the stopped service:

esets.service belongs to File Security v4.5, which is already end-of-life. Do you really want to install this version?

Hi @kurco

No, we want to install the latest version available. The funny thing is that I downloaded the latest version from the download page: https://download.eset.com/com/eset/apps/business/efs/linux/latest/efs.x86_64.bin

Isn't that the one?

Thanks for your help!.

Yes, this link leads to correct package, but after installation there should be running efs service, not esets.
