I cant find any windows 8 stuff here using the search. I uninstalled eset because i was having problems with Win 8 which did not recognise the ethernet port on my motherboard. It turns out it just won't, and so I am using a wifi web connection on that machine, but I became so disillusioned that I am now posting this from a mac book Pro. Still I would like to have the PC until I have got all my equivalent apps onto the Mac. I discovered today that the PC would not reach some web sites that it should have, because this mac was getting there through the same router, so it seems I had an infection on the Win 8 machine. I could not get eset to install, and so I ran the web based checking tool, which found and removed two instances of a java exploit. But I still have not managed to get the Eset installer to complete, and I cant find the eset program anywhere on the PC. It simply is not found via the app search, nor is it on the application page. I see online that because of tech stuff, it wont show up on the application bar at the bottom either. So, it seems I have no way of actually loading eset? The windows firewall reports that eset is in control of its settings, and so no changes can be made there either. How can I discover if eset is or is not installed correctly on my win 8 pc? I am very suspicious it is not, because i have not been asked to enter the user details that one expects, such as licence details. Geoff
