ESET Insiders xxJackxx 57 Posted September 17, 2013 ESET Insiders Share Posted September 17, 2013 I reinstalled the current beta of ESS this evening and upon install it warned of a potential conflict with Windows Defender and recommended I uninstall it (Windows 8, not an option). Then after it ran its first scan it detected the executable for Windows Defender as malicious and wanted to delete it. Probably something that should be looked into.

Arakasi 549 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 If Windows Defender is compromised, it may be a variant of Sirefef lol. Good luck. Im sure Peter will get you some much needed assistance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,703 Posted September 19, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2013 This is not an executable but a small data file. I think it shouldn't be a problem to delete it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
