Forme, the only way to remove the ESS beta or the standalone EAV beta, was to use the Eset uninstaller tool listed above. I had then no problems with removing the AV, but sometimes I lost connectivity with the removal of the ESS.

If the Uninstall tool doesn't detect any ESET product, it's very unlikely that egui.exe or ekrn.exe would be running after rebooting the system to normal mode. After renaming C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ehdrv.sys in safe mode, there should be no problem deleting ekrn.


If I have to use an uninstaller I would use hxxp://support.eset.com/kb2289/#Windows10

But I would like to have confirmation that it will actually work and that there is no other way.

Since this is a beta product and it is about Windows 10.

Besides that I submitted a support request to Customer Care. No answer yet.


Anyway it calims three ways to remove the Online scanner. All of which is false. It doesn't appear in the programs list, the app itself doesn't provide an option to uninstall on exit, and there's no "OnlineScannerUninstaller.exe" in its purported locations.


The Online Scanner does not install in the system, it basically creates a folder with an executable and dll in C:\Users\%User%\AppData\Local\ESET\ESETOnlineScanner so you can delete it at any time to remove it completely.


I too have this problem. Why is this not documented as the way to remove the software. As described above, the 3 methods described in documentation are incorrect. It is not in Add/Remove programs. It does not present a tick box to allow removal of the program and the uninstall tool does not exist in Windows/System32 or Windows/SYSWOW64. Why is not the method described by Marcos documented???


It no longer communicates after I set the Static IP. It shows network connection but it does not go out to the DC or go out to the internet.Im not trying to remove the AV anymore its now gone when i used the removal tool unfortunately the tool was very destructive and seemed to destroy the innards of the network communication.


Well i fixed the problem somehow. I ran a couple more netsh reset commands (advfirewall, branchcache, int ipv6). I also ran system file checker. I also ran fixwin utility and ran internet connection repair reset tcp/ip to default.


Description: This article describes the steps to download and run the ESET removal tool and completely remove any trace of ESET on a computer. This should be done if one is having issues with ESET and would like to thoroughly expunge it from the computer before reinstalling.

I had Eset Smart Security installations on all of my Windows 10 devices and uninstalled all of them. However, after uninstalling Eset from my desktop, and after using their manual removal tool and the other methods they described, I still cannot install Bitdefender. Their manual tool no longer lists any installed AV products and I cannot find any references to Eset, etc., or any drivers on my computer that Eset suggests to uninstall. My desktop seems clean, but I get the error message:


Try using this IOBIT Uninstaller If is doesn't show the programme, reinstall it and then uninstall it using IOBIT, and let it do a deep scan, check and delete all entries it lists, that removes everything.


I usually advise against editing the registry,but occasionally the following keys are present in the registry even after the uninstall tool ekrn and ehdrv,also entries beginning with epfw.You can also check the system32 or syswow64 folders for the above.Also look for ESET folders in program files,program data and user/your name/app data folders.




Thanks. I tried to delete every key and file with "ekrn," "ehdrv," "epfw," and "eset," in the registry, the Windows folder, program data, and appdata folders. Some items would not delete, even in Safe Mode. This did not fix the issue. I'm waiting on Bitdefender to respond to my email (they initially sent a registry file that did not fix the issue). This is frustrating because other AV programs seem to be installing just fine. I just wish that there was a way to force the install.


I discovered a Google chrome extension which I was unable to install even after following various instructions given on another forum. In the end I had to restore the system to remove it however it just reinstalled itself.


I came across a forum form this website (which I am unable to link for some reason) titled ''is it safe to remove all that Malwarebytes found'' . I carefully followed the instructions on it and used the Malwarebytes tool which found around 50 threats which I removed, I used ADWCleaner which found about 30 or so threats and removed and I used Junkware removal tool which also found numerous threats and cleaned.


Yes the original problem has been resolved and I have deleted the registry optimizer as you said. I rescanned the system with ESET and no threats were found. Would you advise any other actions or am I safe to assume my systems clean?


Safer practices & malware prevention

Have a hardware router between the incoming internet-modem and your computer.



Use a Standard user account rather than an administrator-rights account when "surfing" the web.

Pay close attention when installing 3rd-party programs. It is important that you pay attention to the license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you cancel the install and not use the free software.



Check on other update issues as well, by getting, installing and using Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) on a monthly basis.

Make regular backups of your system to removable media: DVD, USB external hard drive, etc.

Take extreme care if you share USB-flash/thumb drives from other people even from friends, roommates, relatives

Don't plug in an unknown flash/thumb drive into your PC.

IF you must do so, hold down the SHIFT-key when you insert the drive.

Scan any file with your Antivirus prior to opening or using.




If you are using older ESET Antivirus products (e.g. v6.x) on Amazon Web Services (EC2) Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) Windows instances (which we use for Spira and KronoDesk) you may not be able to easily upgrade to the latest version of ESET 7.x because ESET 6.5 will block its own un-installation. We have a solution that worked for us that we'd like to share.


The problem is that when you try and uninstall ESET 6.5 from a Windows Server image running under AWS the installation is blocked by the HIDS (intrusion detection) which prevents the installer from removing ESET for security reasons. You end up in an endless loop. There is a standalone removal tool provided by ESET by that requires that you run Windows Server in 'safe mode' which is not possible with AWS EC2.


So the solution we found that works is to detach the root volume, attach to another running EC2 instance and then delete the three files that are part of ESET HIDS. Then you can safely uninstall ESET 6.x using the Control Panel and install a clean version of ESET 7.x.
