    So I just did a clean Windows 10 install the other day.

    Even though ESET NOD32 Antivirus v10.1.210.0 is not available in the offline downloaders, I just run the Live downloader and it actually installed ESET NOD32 Antivirus v10.1.210.0

    but there is still no pause protection in the right click context menu.

    This is very annoying!

    I have several months remaining on my Eset Subscribtion to Eset Smart Security. But, I have forgotten my password and have since found out I can't uninstall the program without it. My idea was to uninstall then reinstall. From what I see it can be uninstalled but it looks like I am going to have to take it to a shop and pay someone to do it for me as I don't feel comfortable trying it myself. It is my own fault for forgetting the password but had I of known the consequences I would not have set a password in the first place. It would of been nice to have been forewarned of the consequences which I understand can be daunting to an average computer user. Regardless, does anyone know if installing a new version will automatically remove the old one? I as always will appreciate all replies and would thank you in advance.

    Thank you, as it gets nearer to my subscription expiration date I will try this. I had hoped that by upgrading it would somehow overwrite the old settings and my problem would be resolved. I like the ESET security programs and hopefully the unlock tool will save me. Again thanks!

    It is still not there (the full off-line installer for NOD32 10.1.210 ). How long ago was the announcement made? Somewhere about 24 hours ago?
    One can only guess what the reasons behind this are .....

    Just download 10.1.204. Then update to 10.1.210 via Eset internal program update.

    Thanks. Is there, as far as known, an Eset KB article telling that that is the way to do it? Because in version 10.0.390 the internal updater is still not working .....!!!

    Thanks again, itman!
    That trick worked, for getting from version 10.0.390 to version 10.1.210.
    This time, after having first installed version 10.1.204 over the top of version 10.0.390, the internal updater worked to get version 10.1.210.

    Let's hope that things are OK now, that the next virus database update comes in a proper way, that we can leave this mess behind us now, that things will improve now, and that hot-fixes come soon (for example for that missing "pause protection" option).

    One issue remains with respect to upgrading: how on earth do users, who are still on version 10.0.390 and don't get a upgrade offered by the internal updater, know that there is a newer version? That is a topic that Eset has to be aware of and most definitely has to solve quickly!

    I noticed that those links are now somewhat fixed. (beethoven posted it here at the Eset forum).
    Let's look at that first link.
    It was https://forum.eset.com/kb2476/
    It has now been changed into http://kb.eset.com/kb2476/
    And that newer link redirects to http://support.eset.com/kb2476/
    I still think it should be https://support.eset.com/kb2476/ but OK.

    ==========

    I noticed that that KB2476 article "How do I upgrade my ESET Windows home product to the latest version?" was last revised on 26 May 2017.

    ==========

    The download page is still not updated:

    I have 10.1.204 installed, and the Internal Updater failed. I tried updating yesterday. It said I needed to reboot to complete the upgrade to 10.1.210. My computer failed to boot, and I ended up in a double loop before successfully booting. I was stuck back with 10.1.204 again. Eset now says my installation is up to date with 10.1.204 installed.

    Eset needs to get their act together. This has been an ongoing problem for years. I only just recently updated from 10.0.390 to 10.1.204 because the internal updater informed me that my installation was up to date when in fact it was not. I usually use the option to check for product updates about once a week. The least they can do is inform the user their are updates available, and let the user decide whether they want to update, or not.

    (As I wrote yesterday) I upgraded yesterday NOD32 (on Win7 Pro 64-bit) from 10.0.390 to 10.1.204 using the 10.1.204 off-line installer (reboot required), and then the internal updater of 10.1.204 gave me 10.1.210 (reboot required). The internal updater of 10.0.390 didn't work, but this procedure, as suggested by itman, did work! As far as I can tell all went fine doing it this way. And if reboots would not have been required, I would have done it myself anyway. Oh, and the virus database updates are coming in fine.

    OK, I have now run my file-integrity-checkers. Wow, many changes.
    One of the things I noticed, is that the location of the NOD32 files has been changed.
    It was c:\program files\eset\eset nod32 antivirus\
    It is now c:\program files\eset\eset security\

    I don't know where the files of Eset Smart Security and Eset Internet Security are located. Just being curious, the same location? Have they also been changed?
    In case someone is using another program that requires mutual exclusions for whatever reason, maybe check again whether the paths of the Eset folders/files you used are still the same now.

    Here is the path for Eset Internet Security 10 on my Windows 10 X64 Professional. C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Security

    I'm currently using version 10.1.204.0. Eset will not update to build 210 using the internal updater on my machine. It tried once, and failed. Now it says i'm using the latest version, and does not give me an option to update to build 210.

    The internal updater has never worked for me since the old days of v2. Always had to install the latest version myself.

    There is a bug in the ver. 10.1.204 internal updater as @Marcos explained in the Eset forum.

    What happens is after the 10.1.210 download completes, it doesn't do an auto install. If you remain in the Eset GUI program update section, nothing happens. You have to exit that section at which time a popup screen is shown with an "Install" button option. You have to click on that for the upgrade option to proceed. After that completes, you will then receive the recommendation to re-boot.

    I also agree that Eset's internal update processing is the most troublesome of any AV solution I have ever used. Suspect that is due to Eset's policy of maintaining multiple past releases which as far as I am aware of no other AV vendor does.

    I have already done as Eset suggested, and the update failed. My machine immediately got stuck in a double loop when attempting to boot to finalize the installation, and the update was a failure when Windows successfully booted on the 2nd attempt. Now EIS reports it's up to date even though I have 10.1.204.0 installed. I no longer receive any option to update again even when exiting the update section of the GUI.

    I will be rolling my machine back soon to fix this, but this is the second time I have had to roll my machine back in 2 weeks due to update problems with Eset. The first time I tried updating to 10.1.204.0 Eset was not detected by Windows Security Center, and the recommended fixes by Eset did not fix the problem so I rolled back my machine then.

    Thanks Cutting_Edgetech and itman. Good to know.
    BTW: Then I don't know why Marcos asked here whether there a folder "C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Internet Security" exists. Maybe a previous version of Eset Internet Security had it, I don't know. So be it.

    In eset smart security is there a setting where I can enable disable internet for the apps on the fly ? Like a list of apps which have internet rules and i can enable disable them ?

    Eset Smart Security has a setting accessible from its desktop taskbar icon that will allow for blocking of all network traffic.

    Pertaining to the Eset firewall if you use its default settings, all outbound app traffic is allowed. If you have enabled outbound monitoring, the answer to your question is no. You have to individually disable each individual app firewall rule.

    However, you can create multiple firewall profiles. For example, one such profile can be where outbound firewall monitoring is enabled but no outbound rules exist for your apps. You can then switch to that profile via the Eset GUI firewall section.

    Thats a lot of effort. Wish there was simple solution like Emsisoft internet security has , where I can just toggle on and off settings in the list of apps

    Marcos posted here today:
    and here today:
    I suppose that in that last quote he meant to say "Live Installer".

    BTW: The process 10.0.390 -> 10.1.204 -> 10.1.210 is already discussed above.

    I noticed today that the Eset website has been seriously updated. While poking around on it, I also noticed that Eset Smart Security is no longer listed in/on their home products section, which leads me to believe this product has been orphaned. Smart Security Premium is still shown, but not the "plain" version.

    I'm hoping someone with Eset knows what is going on.

    ESS ver.10 was actually never officially offered by Eset. It was offered primarily to existing SS ver.9 users as an upgrade so to speak. I always assumed they would be dropping the download for SS at some point. EIS is functionally equal to ESS less the Threat Protection option.
