ESET Moderators ESET Security Forum 39 Posted January 29, 2016 ESET Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Hello, please follow the steps below to resolve this issue (or visit KB here) In most cases, you can perform a manual uninstallation and then reinstall ESET Smart Security to resolve this issue. Continue to step 2 below if this does not resolve the issue. Press the Windows Key + R, type the command ncpa.cpl and then click OK to open the Network Connections dialog. Right-click the adapter that is currently in use and select Properties from the context menu. Check to see if ESET Personal Firewall is shown. Take note of whether it is shown and continue to step 5 below. Open ESET Smart Security. How do I open my ESET product? Press F5 to access Advanced setup. Expand Antivirus > HIPS and click the slider bar to disable HIPS. Click OK and then restart your computer. Open ESET Smart Security, click Setup > Network and check to see whether Network Protection modules are now functional. If they are, the issue should be resolved. If Network Protection is still non-functional, complete the rest of the steps below. Press the Windows Key + R, type the command ncpa.cpl and then click OK to open the Network Connections dialog. Click Install, select Service and then click Add. If the ESET Personal Firewall service already existsSelect it and click Uninstall and then continue from step 10 above. Click Have Disk navigate to the ESET Personal Firewall driver at C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Smart Security\Drivers\epfwlwf and click OK. Select ESET Personal Firewall and click OK. Repeat steps 6-7 and click the slider bar to enable HIPS. Restart your computer and check to see if the issue persists.

Administrators Marcos 5,290 Posted January 29, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2016 Installation of epfwlwf driver is performed by the operating system itself. So if there's a problem installing it, we can hardly affect it. Even if you couldn't resolve the issue, you could install ESET NOD32 Antivirus instead which doesn't use that firewall driver and your license entitles you to use it.

Peter Butler 0 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi both and thanks for the Input but that procedure looks far to complex for me !! After all, i just want to install ESET and it to work. My set up is so simple and the Laptop has next to no apps on it. Installing the latest Version of ESET should be simple ? I have managed to deinstall it and i am trialling AN other solution so cant do this procedure now in any case. I do appreciate the suggestions but its a moot point for now. I have used ESET for many years with no issues so Im dissapointed that i have had to delete it. Pete Butler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
