    I am having an issue with some software and need to completely shutdown ESS 4 in order to make sure that ESS is not the cause of the issue.

    How can I do that?

    In other words, I want to completely shutdown the ESS service and all of its components.

    P.S.: I understand that I can shutdown each of the individual components (firewall, antispam module, etc). But I want to shutdown the entire thing.

    Maybe disabling the kernel service in safe mode?

    Hello,

    If you think something is conflicting with the ESET software, the best way to test would be to temporarily uninstall it. This way the software is not loading on startup and the drivers will not load either.

    Greetings.

    Is there any way to shutdown the ESET service (without uninstalling)?

    Thanks and have a great day.

    Hello,

    0- begin with Disabling the fw and the av from eset tray icone.

    1- Disable ESET's self protection

    2- Go to services.msc, double click on "ESET service", on recovery tab, put the first , second, subsequent failure to "Take No Action" option.

    3- Go to general tab and put startup type to "Disabled".


    NOW restart your computer and VOILA, the eset service will not start...:)


    To disable the drivers try using Autoruns froms sysinternals but i advice you to do NOT do that.



    Regards
