Details
Click to expand
Your ESET product can detect potentially unwanted, unsafe, and suspicious applications before installing them on your computer. When you install your ESET product, you are prompted to enable or disable detection of Potentially unwanted applications.
Whereas the detection of Potentially unwanted applications is configured during installation, the detection of Potentially unsafe applications is disabled by default, and the detection of suspicious applications is enabled by default.
Solution
Business users: Create an exclusion for potentially unwanted applications in ESET PROTECT On-Prem
macOS users: Enable or disable detection of potentially unsafe applications in ESET Cyber Security Pro or ESET Cyber Security
To enable or disable the detection of potentially unwanted, unsafe, or suspicious applications, follow the instructions below:
-
Press the F5 key to access Advanced setup.
-
Click Protections and select a setting next to Malware detections (powered by machine learning), Potentially unwanted applications, Suspicious applications, and Potentially unsafe applications according to your preferences. Click OK to save your changes.
