Details


Click to expand

By default, your ESET Windows home product will automatically attempt to download detection engine/module updates several times per day.

If you use a dial-up internet connection, you may receive continuous error messages regarding failed detection engine/module updates. Your computer may also automatically attempt to connect to the internet. To prevent this, disable the regular automatic update task using the scheduler feature.


Solution

To configure your ESET product to download the latest detection engine/modules updates only when a dial-up connection has been established:

  1. Open the main program window of your ESET Windows product.

  2. Click Tools Scheduler.

    Version 16.0 or earlier: Click Tools More tools → Scheduler.

  3. Deselect the check box next to Regular automatic update. This will force your ESET product to download detection engine/module updates only when a dial-up connection has been established.
