Right now after a Deff Update ESS pops up asking me what to do as Winpatrol is assessing EVEREST.EXE. Now Winpatrol is doing its routine patrol and that's fine but this updated Deff is the cause and my PC becomes unusable and I struggle to disable the AV. This is a legit Everest and it was fine for weeks till that new Deff update. So basically if I let it, it breaks EVEREST so also my Vista Sidebar gadget that runs of Everest. EDIT : Now its doing it claiming kontiki.exe is try to access it (BBC IPlayer)
BUMP : Left ESS disabled on AV/Spyware side overnight. It updated again and now all is fine, I have not heard back from support so far.
