Connections Bug

The HTTP scanner ekrn.exe in Eset Smart Security is not closing connections even after I close my browser. I have been using cports and all the connections are still there. This appears to be a bug with ekrn.exe, so I manually close the connections through cports.

 

Same problem here, it keep open, not only browser connections, I see connectos to hotmail (from messenger I think), and some connections from thunderbird.
After a day of browsing the number of connections of ekrn32.exe is huge.nd I can feel that in the browsing performance.
I see/close them with TCPview.

 

I believe a similar problem was reported in this thread:

It is a little troubling to me that these issues are not answered by ESET and that they seem to be propagating from one Beta to the next.

 

Ithink that it is a very important issue, is like the firewall doesnt close the connections.

 

Yes I also think this is a VERY IMPORTANT issue that needs to be fixed by ESET to the next release, maybe a moderator could give he's thought about the problem?
