1412368 2015-12-05 02:21:00 I am running ESET Smart Security v8.0.319.0.

Notice a message on PC from Action Centre that advises "Windows Firewall and ESET Personal firewall both report that they are turned off"

Can someone tell me where to find this on ESET to check please.

1412369 2015-12-05 04:44:00 There maybe some sort of corruption problem.

BUT first Right click on the Smart Security Icon in the Icon tray, see if they say its on or off.
This is from v9

6851

If its saying its on then Windows could be reading it wrong.

You can also download and upgrade to V9

Click on I already Purchased (www.eset.com) It should upgrade to V9 once the Installer is downloaded and clicked.

1412370 2015-12-05 21:29:00 Thanks Wainui. I have installed V9 and all appears ok. Just asking for a parental password which I don't need. Guess I have to put something in there to stop it
telling me that ESET needs attention.?

Just disable it. It shouldn't ask for a password unless ones been given in the past.

Open Smart Security / Setup - On right, Security Tools / Parental Control
