My computer just did an in place product update to Cybersecurity 8, and the wizard now states that I need to enable ESET Full Disk Access even though it already has it.

Tried a complete reinstall. It installed 7, upgraded to 8 and then encountered the same issue. I tried clicking on the + and adding the ESET application, but that also didn't work. Filed a ticket with support.

I try clear install.

1. uninstall ver.8

"ESET Real-time File System Protection"(OFF) Remains on System Preference>Privacy & Security>Full Disk Access

2. "ESET Real-time File System Protection" delete on System Preference>Privacy & Security>Full Disk Access. use "-".

3. install ver.8. Onboarding.app ended without any problems.

From this, I imagine that macOS will not be able to recognize that "ESET Real-time File System Protection" has become new, macOS will not be able to grant permissions, and Onboarding.app will not progress.

The uninstaller also has a bug that cannot uninstall "ESET Real-time File System Protection".

According to your description of the issue, it sounds like the same bug in macOS that was in macOS Sonoma: https://support.eset.com/en/kb8709.

Those who are experiencing the issue, are you able to fix it by following the instructions in the above KB?

I've tried adding the application, it didn't work. The KB does not list where the extension is installed so I can try reinstalling that. Still not able to detect full disk access.
