Scheduler / Startup Scan

Seems that unchecking / deleting startup file scanning in scheduler doesn't stop scanning from going ahead.

ESS still scans for around 20-25 minutes after boot if I check under Statistics > AV and AS

Anyone else notice this?

The real-time protection scans all files accesses/created by Windows during the startup. On the contrary, the startup scanner scans all files that are registered in the registry to start automatically with Windows (ie. files registered in the run key).

 

If you have prefetch on it scans those files too, pretty normal.

 

hi,
i cannt disable ess4's realtime protection
i disabled the realtime protection but it resumed on next boot.
according to my exprience, ekrn.exe start "startup file scanning"
whenever egui.exe starts(if it has been killed and restarted).
i dont take this as a bug, just post it here as a interesting phenomenon

 

The real-time protection module should only be permanently disabled when using another resident protection along with EAV/ESS. This can be accomplished by unticking the "Automatic real-time file system protection startup" checkbox.

 

hah thanx i got. its a very good feature!
