LoneGeek810 7 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 What are the best settings (on both programs) so they will get along without any conflict if possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,919 Posted August 21, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 21, 2013 If you have the full version of Malwarebytes installed, you should disable its real-time protection (especially if you have Windows XP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arakasi 549 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I dont think he is reffering to malwarebytes. But, Emsisoft products. hxxp://www.emsisoft.com/en/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESET Moderators Aryeh Goretsky 366 Posted August 22, 2013 ESET Moderators Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hello, I have not tried running both programs together—nor do I recommend running multiple anti-malware programs together—but if you are going to try this, I would suggest the following: Disabling all of the realtime file scanning components of one of the programs. Disabling all of the realtime network scanning components of one of the programs. Disabling all of the HIPS components of one of the programs. Create exclusion rules in both programs for the other programs' directories (or files in Windows directories) to prevent them from being scanned Verify neither program performs a scheduled scan within the same time periods. That may work, or it may require some additional fine-tuning. Keep in mind, though, that as anti-malware programs' behaviors and functionalities can change on a daily basis, what works one day may stop working all of a sudden the next day.

Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Thanks, I have disabled ESET's HIPS cause the only mode that is worth anything imo is policy based mode, now everything other than the HIPS I love of ESET...I sure wish you guys would add some rules to auto mode and make interactive mode more user friendly and not near as talkitive cause it will drive most people nuts!

Administrators Marcos 4,919 Posted August 22, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 22, 2013 With HIPS disabled, malware can easily turn off your antivirus protection. Use it in default automatic mode which provides protection of crucial system and antivirus processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneGeek810 7 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I wasn't aware of that! I'll change it to auto mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneGeek810 7 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I wasn't aware of that! I'll change it to auto mode EDIT: Wait, I only disabled HIPS not self-defense...is this what your referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Moderators Peter Randziak 1,083 Posted August 22, 2013 ESET Moderators Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hello LoneGeek, Self-defense is part of HIPS so it protects your system by it's means. When you disable HIPS it won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
