If you suspect that a new update of the detection engine and/or program modules may be unstable or corrupt, you can roll back to the previous version and disable updates for a set timeframe. Alternatively, you can enable previously disabled updates if you have postponed them indefinitely.

ESET products record snapshots of the detection engine and program modules for use with the rollback feature. To create detection engine snapshots, leave the check box next to Create snapshots of modules selected. The Number of locally stored snapshots field defines the number of previous detection engine snapshots stored.


Solution

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

  2. Press the F5 key to open Advanced setup.

  3. Click Update → Rollback.

  4. In the Duration drop-down menu, select the appropriate amount of time and click OK.

    'Until revoked' is not recommended

    If you select Until revoked, detection engine updates will not resume until you manually reinstate them. We do not recommend selecting Until revoked unless you are advised to do so by ESET Technical Support. Disabling updates can expose your system to threats. Selecting this option will change your protection status to yellow.
