Eset Endpoint Antivirus Setup

Hello,

I am setting up Eset Endpoint Antivirus on our computer fleet.  When installing the AV, I am asked for two things:

- LiveGrid
- Enable or disable detection of potentially unwanted applications

Does anyone have any recommendations or opinions on either of these selections?  I am creating some images and need to know yay or nay on these two items.  Any consideration would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Spriggan13,

Yes we are using an ERA server.  I was wondering how I could suppress those notifications on the server?  I should be able to figure it out.  Thanks for your recommendations.  I'll hold out a bit longer for any other recommendations.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi

It is best to use the default typical installation.

The ESET Live Grid helps to ensure that ESET is immediately and continuously informed about new infiltrations.

 Potentially unwanted applications are not necessarily malicious, but can often negatively affect the behavior of your operating
system.

I am on version 6.2, which appears to be nothing like the links you provided.  I can probably figure it out, but if you have links for my version, that would be great.  Thank you for your help.
Hi

It does not matter which version you are on. The recommended installation is to  enable LiveGrid and potentially unwanted application.

Aa potentially unwanted application is a program that contains adware, installs toolbars or has other unclear objectives.

You can change those settings later if you wish

1. Open your ESET product.
2. Press the F5 key to access Advanced setup.
3. Click Antivirus and enable or disable options Enable detection of potentially unwanted applications, Enable
detection of potentially unsafe applications and Enable detection of suspicious applications according to your
preferences. Confirm by clicking OK.
