![]() ![]() Why? Massive performance hit? Compatibility issues? Who knows. Likewise in the next section Heuristics is enabled but Advanced Heuristics - a unique heuristic algorithm developed by ESET - is disabled. Why? The little help icon tells me what a runtime packer is but not why I might not want to scan one. "Scan boot sectors" is enabled but "Scan runtime packers" is disabled by default. Ok, move onto the next section, Threatsense parameters. Memory? Opened files? Local Drives? The entire network? Who knows because it's not documented anywhere that I can find. When I shutdown the computer something is going to be scanned.

Instead of applying the migrated v5 policies I'm going to start fresh with v6 policies. As such, any unwanted system activities requiring elevated privileges such as software install/uninstall will fail since that account lacks those privileges.Managed to mostly upgrade from version 5 to version 6.5 over the last few days. Your overall best protection against unwanted system activities is to always use a standard user account for normal system activities. This will ensure you get a UAC alert when such activity is taking place. Your best protection against hidden misuse of software uninstallers is to always keep UAC at its maximum level. Solutions such as Emsisoft primarily use CAPCHA to control disabling of real-time protection not to validate software being uninstalled. As far as the CAPCHA validation server is concerned as long as the response are the valid characters requested, it satisfies the validation. He will just enter the CAPCHA characters as you would if physically present at the device. ![]() ![]() Worthless if the attacker has remote control of the system. I remember an antivirus ( do not recall which) asking for CAPTCHA in order to proceed with uninstall. ![]()
