Smart Security in Interactive mode is no longer asking for my input.

[Guest Xirix]

I'm using ESET Smart Security 4, and recently I've noticed, that although in Interactive Filtering mode, it has stopped popping up to ask for Allow/Deny confirmation on programs trying to access the internet.

 

It seems to just be auto-blocking everything, forcing me to set up manual rules each time I use a new program.. which can get kind of tedious.

 

I've heard this is a common problem? Is there a fix for it?

If egui.exe is running, couldn't it be that you've recently connected remotely via Remote Desktop or there are more users logged on at a time?

[Guest Xirix]

No, there's only one user on this computer and I've never used the remote desktop program.

Is there no further help for my issue?..

Does the problem persist even after a computer restart? I'd suggest installing ESS v6 or v7 beta just in case the issue was caused by a bug in old v4 versions.
