I have other virus programs that have issue with Eset virus Free program. I need to uninstall Eset virus program, but it doesn't show up in control panel programs, or setting apps to be removed. ( I have Windows 10 ) The program is NOD32 Antivirus & Cyber-Security but comes up as Eset

@Lightning As @itman pointed out, there's no such thing as what you're explaining That said, if you indeed have an ESET product installed and need to remove it but cannot go about removing it by traditional means, you may use the ESET Uninstaller tool: _apps_remover/latest/esetuninstaller.exe

Thanks for reply. When I got home I fired up my windows 10 Eset had a pop-up in lower right bottom saying an error had happened at loading. The attached screen is what I have on my screen. It has cleaned up files before several times.

I open this program by clicking windows icon on task bar & program list comes up & I choose ESET Security & this opens. When starting computer it normally doesn't have a loading error. If itman is correct that mac program works on windows too.

Thanks BaldNerd for your input. I checked out the links you sent & they look promising, but above my compute ability comfort zone, so i will take your info to a computer repair guy to try your suggestion. Attached is eset error message & AVG report

Yeah as someone has mentioned - running two AVs is always risky as both will be trying to do stuff - this is especially risky if both are realtime AVs - some users have extra non realtime avs e.g. you need to load and run a scan manually but it looks like both of yours are real time so will be conflicting.

Also you mentioned the mac version - this will not work on windows - the one you have installed is eset nod32 which is esets antivirus - eset also has internet security which includes firewall and other stuff and then a premium version which has a password manager and encryption tool.

I noticed you mentioned eset free - the only thing I can think of is you are running a trial - it's a while since I have ran a trial of eset but I believe it is 30 days. There is no free version, just the 30 day trial.

First, multiple AV/anti-malware solutions can be installed. However only one should have its real-time protection enabled to avoid conflicts. The other solutions should have their real-time protection option disabled. Some solutions will run just fine in this status. Others might constantly complain via internal status display or alerting about their real-time protection being disabled.

The interesting point posted is AVG's detection of an Eset protection module. Granted it was a "suspicious" detection but I would assume AVG is capable of detecting known safe processes/dll's. So let's get back to the original posting where you stated you installed a free version of NOD32. Do you mean that you installed it in trial license mode? Did you download NOD32 installer from the official Eset web site?

Finally, to avoid conflicts with multiple AV solutions installed, the main engine component of each should be excluded from the other solution. For example in AVG, ekrn.exe needs to be excluded from AVG's real-time scanning, behavior monitoring component, web access protection component, etc.. Likewise in Eset, the above AVG protection components need to be excluded from Eset's real-time scanning, HIPS, and Web Access protection components.

Bottom line and again - it is best to only use one AV solution. If others are used, you must disabled all their related real-time and behavioral/HIPS components and only use these solution as on-demand scanners.

In the past few weeks we started running exams based on SEB 214 with Moodle, running on students' BYOD at the students home. Two days ago we got a lot of support tickets by students,. When running SEB they get a pop up message: "Seb found irregular files in its program directory." It mentions: c:\Program files (x86)\SafeExamBrowser\xulrunner\defaults\pref\eset_security_config_overlay.js
All these students had "eset-nod32" antivirus installed. When uninstalling eset-nod32, or disabling three functions (from the taskbar interface) SEB works. Probably the best is to be able to ignore the above mentioned file, so we don't need to access students' computers during the exam !

It seems that turning off "Add the root certificate to known browsers" in ESET Nod32 solves this problem with SEB (tested on Windows 10, SEB 2.4). It is interesting that this protection is still active even when you select Pause protection from the taskbar.

Arrogant anti-virus companies think they can manipulate applications, because they break the SSL encryption for https connections (they perform a so-called Man in the Middle Attack). They think that's necessary to check all internet traffic for virus signatures, which is naive, not really solving security challanges and a privacy and security disaster!

Unfortunately we cannot solve the stupidity of those anti-virus tool manufacturers. People should educate themselves and not use any products which break the most fundamental Internet traffic security.

I agree. But it is not easy to identify these problems before the exam. The first time SEB is used, all is fine, but the second time SEB gets angry... So we ask the students to run an extra test before the real exam.
