Hey lillyjames
See this thread : https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=326823

 

thank you but now my icon since updating to 5.2 is green. not blue. Please help me. I'm in tears over this. why hasn't eset updated? at their website too? I clicked on the link you gave and it has the same questions. no answers. I can't even read thru my tears.

 

ESET 5.2 now won't allow windows to update - i have to manually allow that windows site and have no idea how. I never had this problem with Norton. Now I can't use my computer.

 

Hello again !
There haven't been any new update from Eset since : Update 7242 (20120622).
And regarding Windows Update see this thread : https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=326669 (Or disable Https from protocol filtering temporary, in advanced setup ,to update Windows)

 

I'd relax a little if I was you, being in tears over eset not updating?

 

Follow Janus's advice.
-setup
-enter adv. setup
-web & email
-web access & antiphishing protection
-http, https
-check "Do NOT use HTTPS protection checking"
Now your Windows Update should be ok.
Cheers

 

hi
thanks for the advice. Yes i was in tears over not updating as I work from home off my computer. with no safe internet access, i can't work. sorry for overreaction.

as far as the last post goes, thank you - i tried that and the set up asks for my password which no longer works. i've tried and tried and eset won't allow me access to my own security.

in a desperate attempt to get help, i googled eset support number and called 877 540-0107. they needed remote access. i felt uncomfortable after about ten minutes or so and had him log out of my computer. this was a company that supports eset and not eset. now i'm really scared. was this number okay? or are they crooked.

now i have two problems. i'm sorry if i seem overreact. but now i can't update AND i let someone "in". the number seemed okay.

 

Hi lillyjames
If I understand you correctly, then you can't remember your user-defined password for your personal settings in Eset. If that is the case, then read carefully this KB article about ESET Unlock Utility.
Link : I cannot access the settings - I'm being asked for a password. What should I do?

 

thank you. I just did a system restore and eset went back to 5.0 from 5.2 and i updated all my windows and eset from there. i'll call eset tomorrow and do the 5.2 with them on the line so i can fix password issues and updating to 5.2 issues. my only conern was giving someone remote access to my computer in an attempt to get tech support. i hope system restore ALSO solved that. still i feel scared and paranoid about it. it was only about 10 minutes, i felt uneasy and then told him i wanted to stop the operation and did.

 

im sure you are fine if it was someone from eset who did the remote session. is it updating okay now?

 

it is updating fine now because i did a system restore. I just went back to 5.0. the person wasn't from eset - when you google "eset support" a third party site comes up right at the top of the page (i don't want to post their name because then google will crawl it and this post will show up in results). i mistakingly went thru them. I'm "clean" now though. i'm going back to Norton next year. its because of my troubles with eset, i was in that situation in the first place. with norton, i was always free and clear. thank you for asking.

and i also did a full scan, about ten of them one including malwarebytes.com full and mini. after system restore.
