Eset Nod32 Free
Manda Ulibarri
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.
So after that i went on computer services and noticed that ESET Service is Disabled so naturally i tried setting it as Automatic when booting the computer but it won't let me, it says access denied. I also tried running services as admin and doesn't work either.
You should have received the key in an e-mail from whomever you purchased it from. If you purchased a boxed version of Eset, the key is shown on an insert within the CD case. Otherwise, post your Eset public license ID as shown below and hopefully @Marcos can PM you your license key
I had exactly the same issue on two my computers. The latest ESET was unable to start with multiple critical errors. I've tried to reinstall, reinstall in safe mode, use uninstall tool. Nothing helped. After multiple attempts, ESET support was able to install 12.2.30.0 version from offline package with no issues. I was told to wait for the next application update and do not upgrade from version 12 for now.
Please uninstall v12 and install v13.2 from scratch. Should you encounter issues, open a new topic and provide also logs collected with ESET Log Collector as well as a screen shot of the error you get.
My problem is a bit different, I have openSUSE 15.2 installed on both the PC and laptop. The PC is fine but the laptop is a bit flakey. Since I installed virtualbox (through YAST2 so it should be the correct version for 15.2) the NOD32 icon isn't visible on the taskbar, it does virus updates automatically in the background, so I know it's running but I can't select it and do virus checks when I want. Now the strange thing is if I restart the laptop, then NOD32 appears and runs as normal. The product version is: 4.0.95.0
The eset icon is now visible, every time I start the laptop. What I did was right click at the very bottom of the panel, on the right hand side under the widgets (software update, volume, etc.) and selected configure system tray.
Just to give an update after a while it became obvious that the solution above only worked intermittently and on occasion the eset icon wouldn't be visible. In the end I bit the bullet and did a reinstall, it's been a couple of days and so far the eset icon continues to be accessible on the panel.
At the moment I uninstalled eset and I'll test how things works without it, I'll restart now and update. I also have randomly weird disconnections from my LAN suddenly when playing games or very rarely when not doing anything, including the black screen on bootup and eset takes 10 min to start its firewall. something is so weird.
What I noticed is the the LAN takes like 5 sec to actually get internet after windows load up, it shows the global icon and then after 5 sec it shows the computer, with login or without. but with eset it shows black screen for almost 10 sec and the computer icon is already shown up on the windows login.
I was watching the Windows Login circle for almost 2 min until it loaded and only 2 icons shown up on my tray icon! ESET didn't even launched because it freezed and freezed the whole COMPUTER including everything else!!!!
for now, I moved to another AV software, I can't mess with this thing right now, it slows down my computer to a crawl every restart and it's not that it doesn't work, it is randomly changing every time, sometimes the firewall can't start, and the internet doesn't work because of it. I'll just wait until you fix all issues.
Computer start as it should, not black screen no slow down or windows doesn't load all try icons and all the rest and firewall + antivirus work as it should without event viewer notification every time.
because I know for sure it's not my ISP and not my network, if anyone blame that I have nothing to add to it. my internet would totally lose connection randomly like totally cable disconnect of sort, it doesn't happen without ESET now.
so i have a pretty big music collection that i keep on a traditional hard drive. normally everything works as usual. well a recent folder that i've added for some reason when i try to open it it takes forever while it's populating all the track titles, artist, etc. seemed weird because normally it they open relatively fast. so i did a couple defrags, still doiing it.
so i was digging and come to find out, under properties, like everything on that hard drive is "read only" now. so i tried unchecking it, apply, ok, over and over on different folders and it sometimes it acts like it's doing something then i check it and it's still read only.
searched for causes and one of them is it could be a from ransomware protection or some other form of A/V so that's why i'm here wondering if ESET has anything to do with it or knows why that's started happening. thanks, J
i was just googling what would make files read only and not be able to revert to non-read only and it said it could be a/v or ransomeware protection thats making them like that. and i thought seeing something about them adding some type of ransomware protection in the latest version of eset so that may be the cause?
ok so i think i may have figured it out. it may be related to a part of windows defender called "controlled folder access" but being i'm using eset i can't even get to that page to change the setting.
back in the win 7 days i use to be able to go in and disable the eset service and cancel the startup program to boot w/out eset protection so maybe windows defender would kick in but now it won't let me disable the service. i've gone into advanced settings and disabled "protected service" and "self defense" and rebooted but i still can't disable the eset service. is there any way to do that without uninstalling?
