UNINSTALL ESET ENDPOINT ANTIVIRUS WINDOWS 10 SOFTWARE

I’ve carried out the 6 steps zbook lists in post 2 and everything comes back clean so I can only hope that whatever is left does no harm… I’ve managed to look around the PC and delete all the obvious references to ESET, there are probably remnants left which I can’t find… Thinking back I seem to remember having problems with ESET products before but I assumed that these would have been sorted out by now.

The ESET uninstaller did not detect ANY of the four programmes – it did not even detect its own software. I have MalwareBytes, the two ESET products and an F-Secure on line scanner which I was going to trial after uninstalling the ESET products. This seemed ideal so I downloaded and ran their uninstaller.

While I was able to uninstall the NOD product via the PC apps screen the desktop icon remained and clicking on this the programme ran so it had obviously not been uninstalled properly… One of the solutions suggested on here required putting the PC into safe mode and appeared quite involved (for me) but on the ESET site there is some software that can be downloaded that will detect ‘all’ AV software and it then gives the user the option to remove any of the products detected, including ESET. I did not like that so decided to uninstall both and this is where problems arose. In the meantime I’d downloaded and installed their NOD AV package. I assumed that this might be caused by one of MS’ updates but the computer behaved correctly otherwise. I ran their free on-line AV scanner for a while and was happy, it then started giving problems – various icons would display but no writing so using it was problematical. Like many others I also had problems uninstalling ESET products… Cannot delete Purge leftover ESET Security data(ESET InternetSecurity)
