ExampleI work at home with my girlfriend, and when I open my laptop, I disconect her connection, then we are starting to click like crazy the reconnect tab at the wifi, we lose smtg like 10-12 min doing it before it really works.
Please clarify what ESET product you purchased and installed. Is it ESET NOD32 Antivirus, ESET Internet Security or ESET Smart Security Premium? The first one doesn't include a firewall so it cannot affect other than http/https network communication.
Does temporarily pausing the firewall make a difference? If so, please run the Firewall troubleshooting wizard to find out if a desired communication has been recently blocked and unblock it, if necessary. Also check Known networks in the advanced setup and try configuring your network to "Trusted network" instead of the default "Use Windows setting":
There is also a similar problem. Norton 360 was installed, in March, after changing the provider, Wifi connection disconnects began. I uninstalled norton. But his removal was not enough. After deleting, I got the Wi-Fi connection disconnected again. I will clarify, the removal was done through "uninstall or change a program". After the removal, I did not use a special tool to clean up its possible remnants in the system...
(By the way, each disconnect (and re-enabling Wi-Fi) was accompanied by an event "DNS Event ID 1014" in the windows 10 log)
Searching for DNS 1014, I saw this post -ru/windows/forum/all/ошибка/162b360f-8ca2-4c33-9d1f-03f4a8497e30, uninstalled the wi-fi adapter driver and ran a series of commands:
I would update the drivers of the wireless adapter and then if possible update the firmware of the router as well. Of course if the router is a third party bought by yourself you'll be left to the support of the your isp for this.
If you have purchased the license just recently, it should be possible to ask for a refund. When you or somebody else encounters an issue that you are unable to resolve, I strongly recommend opening a ticket with the local ESET distributor so that developers can check logs and other diagnostic stuff necessary to determine the root cause of the issue.
What about users who don't have the tech savvy to find out about providers DNS, let alone how to resolve this? ...probably a long convoluted communication with support..sigh...and so much for theEset reviews about how easy this was to install and run...
Ok, well I purchased Eset Internet Security for 5 devices (1 windows and 4 android). Set up Eset Home ok. Started adding devices, got interrupted by family, when returned to pc had lost the connection. After that tried to continue with installation. Had issues not being able to install on main windows pc as wouldn't connect to eset when trying to install.
So left that and installed via google play on 2 android tablets. Since then when browsing/using internet on the tablets, getting intermittent dns errors so can't use internet, this can last from a few seconds to minutes before it connects ok. What is likely to be the issue?
none of the other employees by phone or those who came to my house, to replace the ONU equipment (converter from optics to ethernet) , they did not talk about it, everyone was leaning towards a bad wi-fi connection
The first randomly generated mac address did not work (there were problems), it turned out with the second one. Everything is fine now, there are no mistakes. What I understood from the conversation is that there is some kind of binding by mac addresses...(long story). There were no such problems on the old provider, but on the new one, they appeared immediately.
It depends. Even if you are behind a router, use NAT and don't use port forwarding, if malware was run on one of the machines in LAN and the others would not have a particular vulnerability in network protocol patched, it could spread through your network. For instance, Network protection in EIS/ESSP and ESET Endpoint Security was able to block the infamous Wannacry ransowmare exploiting EternalBlue at the network level before it could do the damage. On the other hand, the chances of encountering such scenario in a home network and with Windows 10 installed on the machines are quite low.
Sorry i meant I don't know the answer to your exact question but having the extra layers is always good. I don't know enough about router security myself although Internet security also comes with a feature to scan for other devices on your network and warns you if your router might be vulnerable
If this is in regards to Win 10 Home versions, RDP is disabled by default. It can be installed in the Home versions but a bit of work is needed to do so: -to-use-windows-10-remote-desktop-in-windows-home-rdp .
So if you are using a Win 10 Home version with default RDP settings, the answer is you don't have to worry about external network based RDP brute force attacks. However in your case, either you are using Win 10 Pro or manually installed RDP in Win 10 Home.
Here's a feature comparison between Eset home use products: -features-available-in-windows-eset-home-products . You will have to refer to either Internet or Smart Security documentation for further details on features contained in both that are not contained in NOD32.
I am using Smart Security on a Windows 10 Home machine (Upgraded from Windows 8.1 Home) and have a unknown user on my machine, this user is called "ghhmtqua". I have scanned for Virus, maleware and spyware using a number of tools not just ESET's, I have deleted and disabled this user using console commands and the control panel but guess what it keeps coming back.
I am having the same problem here with an unknow account being created. I have used eset since 5 years ago, give or take, I had never had this issue before, until like a year ago. The account created is always the same but it is a bunch of random characters. I even reset my laptop because I thought it was a virus but now, after I upgraded to windows 10, and after I set up eset anti-theft, it has begun to happen again.
And, in the process of researching/fix/resolvinig this issue, I remove the affected device from the internet (I disabled the Wi-Fi), then removed the account, and before a complete eset scan completed, the account returned. Since i've disconnected the device, what is the agent/app that is doing the account creation and how can I stop it. I have also removed both devices from the eset anti-theft website.
What is the problem if it is not supposed to appear unless the device is reported as missing? There seem to be quite a few people reporting this and a little explanation of why and some assurance that it is not compromising my system would be nice.
To remove the account, please log in to your
my.eset.com account and in Anti-theft settings you can disable the phantom account. The next time your computer goes online and synchronizes with our portal, the setting will be sent to your computer and the account will be removed.
If I delete the account it comes back on reboot.
I've also set it to deactivated but it reactivates on reboot.
I'm running windows 7 and I keep it up to date. I also use Eset Antivirus, MalwareBytes Anti-malware (paid version), Windows Security Essentials, and MalwareBytes Anti-Exploit.
I've run scans with all of those and even some other apps but nothing is ever found.
I've read online that some programs will create an account to update themselves, like Nvidia does or did this at one point. I don't think I have any Nvidia software on my laptop though.
I've also read that a lot of people who run Eset have this problem so wondering if it might be from that?
I saw in some forums people run net user to get more details.
Like in the case of Nvidia creating it, it shows Nvidia in the comment line but on mine it is blank.
It shows that it's never logged on and its only part of the users local group (not administrators) so that's a plus.
I am currently using an HP Pavilion laptop... Windows 10... with ESET Smart Security, 2016 Edition. At some point, with the notifications that pop up to ALLOW or BLOCK a process or application, I evidently was too cautious and inadvertently blocked my Webcam. I checked my Camera settings and all the apps appeared ON. I know what I know... and in knowing that, I also know what I don't know. I don't want to mess with this issue too much and make it worse. I would think that it shouldn't be TOO hard but, as I just mentioned... I know what I don't know. Would love to hear some encouraging words of a relatively easy remedy.
One way to easily unblock stuff is the troubleshooter - go to setup - network protection - troubleshooter wizard - here you can see the last stuff blocked e.g. 5 minutes, 15, hour and so on and unblock specific stuff.
I also presume you have your firewall in interactive mode e.g. each time a new program tries to connect to the internet you're asked if you should allow/deny, remember etc. If you are not sure what to do with popups you might benefit from setting the firewall into automatic - that way Eset basically evaluates the programs for you and allows/blocks them depending on the risk. You can then still use that troubleshooter if something gets blocked.
