8.0.319.0 GUI hangs when I go to Tools --> Filtered Websites

[Wallaby 1]

As in title... whenever I go to Tools --> Filtered Websites the GUI (egui.exe) hangs and is unresponsive

So I have to kill it and relaunch

This is happening in  the last few days

 

Any ideas

 

For example how to clean the Filtered Websites list (maybe a clean up suffices)

Wallaby, I started having the same problem last night. I have the same version as you. Everything else seems to be working ok, though. What was weird was when I fired up my PC after coming home from work and signed in, I had a message from Nod32 stating that I was signed in under a temporary profile, and whatever files generated would be deleted upon my leaving. They also said to try back a little later and see if I could sign in to my real account. This prompted me to reboot and sign in again, at which time I got my real profile back. I checked my Nod32 thoroughly, and found the problem you described. I used Task Manager to try and end it, and got the spinning hurricane thingy for about 15 minutes before getting a prompt from Nod asking if I wanted to exit. I exited, and restored the computer to 2 days ago. That did nothing, as the problem persisted and continues as we speak. Nice to hear I am not the only one experiencing this, which suggests a system wide problem.

That could happen if there are way too many records in a log. However, under normal circumstances there's no chance you'd get thousands of records in logs. What's the size of the file "C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET NOD32 Antivirus\Logs\urllog.dat" ?

[Mack 1]

I will have to see when I get home, I posted my reply from work and get off midnight Central time.

[Mack 1]

Ok, Marcos, the size is 3.46 KB (3,544 bytes), size on disk 4.00 KB (4,096 bytes)

[Wallaby 1]

Mine is 792 bytes (4.096 bytes on disk)

There are only 2 entries inside

May I delete manually that urllog.dat file without messing up the PC?

 

I forgot to say that when the GUI hangs, the CPU goes to 25% (I have a 4 core i5 CPU, Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium 64bit)

Same here - ESET NOS32 Antivirus 8.0.319.0

urllog.dat = 3,814 bytes

 

Should I set urllog.dat to delete on next boot?

[Marcos 5,443]

Try to just rename the file in safe mode or after temporarily disabling self-defense and restarting the system. If you are able to reproduce it with a particular urllog.dat file, please drop me a pm with the log file attached.

It seems that the problem (at least as far as I am concerned) it is no more present, without doing anything

I went to "filtered webistes" and nothing happened, so I could delete all the entries without any hang

Maybe it was a problem with one module that, in the meantime, has been updated... or maybe God knows why.

 

Thanks anyway
