scottls59901 1 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) I would like to know if there is an easier way to get complex (i.e.- CCleaner, browsers, Outlook, sandboxie, ...) Fully trusted, than what method I am currently doing?- I am now spending Huge amounts of time opening/closing Every program module on install/updates..., and then again after restart! Then the next day it is necessary again, after a cold startup (especially after Windows updates!). I am spending sooo much time keeping ESS firewall trusted on my 2 computers, that I don't have time to keep up with my email... -Maybe I would be better off with regular ESET NOD32, and quit messing with pesky Internet Security firewalls (KIS 2014 was Much worse than ESS!)?

Administrators Marcos 5,446 Posted June 14, 2015 Administrators Posted June 14, 2015 If I understand it correctly, you are using firewall in policy-based mode and have created rules for the applications you use. However, if some of these applications update, the path to the executable changes which causes the firewall to block the communication. Is that the case? Or you are using firewall in automatic mode (default), do not have any custom rules created and disabling firewall temporarily resolves the issue?

I first tried using Learning-mode for initial-setup (after an over-the-top upgrade to .312), then back to automatic, as firewall/program... Trust rules weren't created in Learning-mode. I had also tried policy-based mode in old .304, and have Never created separate profiles. I do sometimes get ESS pop-ups saying rules have changed, and I Allow/always.
itman 1,800 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Appears this is the problem? Appears to be activated when anything other than the default mode of allowing all outbound traffic is selected? In any case, any updates that are signed should not be triggering an alert. I would check your settings in this area.

Administrators Marcos 5,446 Posted June 30, 2015 Administrators Posted June 30, 2015 I am now spending Huge amounts of time opening/closing Every program module on install/updates It's not clear what you mean. Please post a screen shot for better understanding of what issue you're having.

Please post a screen shot for better understanding of what issue you're having. I think he believe that ESS will "trust" = scan the software when he opens/execute it (which it will), and once he manage to get it "trusted" (meaning what ?) ESS should not scan it the next time he opens that software, and there should be no execution delay when he opens the software in question the second, third, fourth time. But I don't understand what he means, or what he thinks that ESS actually does, making a software "trusted" = ? Maybe he refer to the cache, smart signatures or ? "I am spending sooo much time keeping ESS firewall trusted on my 2 computers, that I don't have time to keep up with my email..." But where/how does the firewall come into the picture ? Is it about Learning Mode and apps ? Or keeping the ESS firewall "trusted" in some other 3'rd party software ? Not sure Edited July 1, 2015 by SweX
Most Valued Members SCR 195 Posted July 1, 2015 Most Valued Members Posted July 1, 2015 I can't quite figure out what the OP means either. But just maybe they have Eset in Interactive mode with rules and each application is asking for permissions. He may be granting permission but failing to create a rule so the next time he starts the program is asks for permission again. Then again it could be something completely different.

I have never received any alert from Eset SS 8 about trusting anything. Win Updates install without issue and so do other app updates. You definitely should not be getting trust alerts about IE at every startup after boot. That is unless something is indeed modifying IE and your other apps? I see you are running Zemana's Antilogger - free version. You running any other security software? Thought I saw a ref. to Sandboxie? You should exclude any other security software from Eset's real-time scanning at the minimum. Also post a screen shot of the alert from Eset you are receiving when you receive this "trust" alert. Also have you checked your logs to see if anything is recorded there? If so, please post a screen shot of the entries there. Do you have Eset's firewall set to "automatic" filtering mode and selected profile to "no profile?" Finally, you should uninstall any other security like software before installing Eset. If worse comes to worse, you will have to do that and then reinstall Eset. I have also seen mixed reviews on VIT Registry Fix. If you have run it after installing Eset, it may have very well "borked" part of your Eset installation settings in the registry. -EDIT- You keep referring to "Trust" alerts and your browser. Are these alerts in ref. to the trusted zone? Again screen shots of the alerts are a must. Edited July 1, 2015 by itman

Leads me to believe your issues might lie at the OS level.
