MattHarwood 0 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hi all, I may be having a slow day, but I cannot find an option to automatically scan USB drives when attached (instead of a prompt) - could anyone advise me how to set this option please? I am using ESS 6. Is this option also available in Endpoint Antivirus - as I would like to set this option at work too, please? Many thanks in advance Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Insiders puff-m-d 120 Posted July 21, 2013 ESET Insiders Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hello, I am not sure that ESS 6 has this option as it was just added to the latest ESS 7.0.104.0 beta that was released this week. In the ESS 7 beta, you can find the option here: Advanced setup > Computer > Removable media. You can see if that setting is in ESS 6, but I do not believe it is although I may be wrong as I am not running version 6 on any of my machines. I would think since the option was just added in the last beta 7 release that version 6 does not have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Janus 210 Posted July 21, 2013 Solution Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hello MattHarwood Just a supplement to puff-m-d post: How do I configure my Windows ESET product to automatically scan removable media devices?

ESET Insiders puff-m-d 120 Posted July 21, 2013 ESET Insiders Share Posted July 21, 2013 Thanks Janus, I was not sure that option was in ESS 6 as I do not have access to that version at the moment. Your link shows that it is (slightly different location than in ESS 7). I guess that option was omitted from the first beta release of ESS 7 and was added again with the second beta ESS 7 release... Note to myself: I need to remember to search the kb articles more often to find answers ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Staff CB530 70 Posted July 22, 2013 ESET Staff Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hi all, I'm glad to see that we've been able to help MattHardwood out with Removable Media protection in ESS6. In ESET Endpoint Security this feature is called "Device Control" and the corresponding Knowledgebase article can be found here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,935 Posted July 22, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 22, 2013 As of v7, removable media control was replaced with Device control known from Endpoint which provides protection against many more devices than the previously used feature.
