1230769 2011-09-17 05:42:00 MSE used to take over my PC when updating. It got so irritating, I changed back to ESET.

I have now installed ESET Smart Security V5 on the other two computers here, and once again, no problems. Just lucky I guess.Thanks John, I was not sure it was worth the money but guess I will stay with it.

1230770 2011-09-17 05:51:00 Well, there were some troubling comments on the 'net about MSE falling off in performance in picking up nasties, then I got irritated with it for hogging resources. ESET v4 used to lead to slow start ups, so I wondered whether I had paid to get out of the frying pan into the fire, but v5 is supposed to have solved the slow booting issue. I had to reboot each of the three computers after installation, and it does seem significantly better. John H (8)
1230771 2011-09-17 06:03:00 That's interesting. I have v4 at present. I will update to v5 and renew my subscription. Pato (2463)
1230772 2011-09-17 06:32:00 Has your subscription expired? If not, you just install v5 trial version over the top of v4 and it picks up that you are licensed until... John H (8)
1230773 2011-09-17 06:56:00 ESET v4 used to lead to slow start ups, so I wondered whether I had paid to get out of the frying pan into the fire Thats because it doing what its told to do :D The default is to do a startup scan when you start the PC, thats the first thing I disable, second thing is to create a auto system scan weekly.

To disable the start up scan V4 - open nod32 - make sure you are in the Advanced mode, then under tools/Scheduler - disable the startup scan - it will boot faster.

See attachment - This is V4 - updating to V5 tomorrow :)

1230774 2011-09-17 07:21:00 Thanks Wainui, I totally forgot to change that on my v4 when I installed it.
Maybe now it will boot a tiny bit faster.
Will watch this thread to see how you go on the upgrade to v5 and your thoughts on it.

1230776 2011-09-17 11:54:00 Dont install mywebsearch, in the first place :p
How does MyWebSearch manage to get on to almost every PC I fix? I have never had it on my PC & never seen anything ask to install it. It must be bundled with some really common software that I don't use

Just installed it over the top of V4 and it picked up my custom settings and license details automatically.

This seems to have changed in V5, WT. Have you found where you can do this now? I have gone blind trying to find the equivalent settings. Thanks.
