Default scheduled tasks in ESET

Hey Guys...

I've noticed when I prep a policy and export it to an .xml...I make sure to have it set to zero scheduled tasks and the checkbox for applying default tasks is unchecked. Then I tie that configuration into an install package. When I install the package...all the correct settings are applied from the configuration however when I check scheduled tasks from the GUI on the client...I see the following 5:

Regular automatic update
Automatic update after dial-up connection
Automatic update after user logon
Automatic startup file check (user logon)
Automatic startup file check (successful update)

For the life of me I can't create a configuration, that applies to a new package and is basically left blank, so that I can set pre-defined tasks in my child policies. (I want my parent policy to be blank throughout...if this is not a best practice, please let me know)

Thanks guys for any help you can provide.

If I well understand you, you mean you want :

NO automatic update ?

NO statup file check after update ?

why install an antivirus if you want to disable these so important tasks

 

It is not a good idead to disable default tasks although it's feasible. Deafult tasks can be edited or even removed if you assign them an ID of a deault task in the configuration editor.
