Settings migration

Not all firewall rules from ESET Cyber Security version 6 can be migrated to version 8. After updating, check which rules are visible in the application preferences section, Firewall. Any firewall rules that were not migrated need to be created manually. If you already upgraded your ESET Cyber Security from version 6 to version 7 or later, you can still migrate your settings when you upgrade to a later version. For instructions, visit the ESET Knowledgebase article on migration
