[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1071702, member: 61091"] I posted about ESET SSP breaking my firewall, and various issues related to fixing it including conflicting tech support from ESET in real-time when it was happening, which was several months ago. I mentioned it today after [USER=92939]@Shadowra[/USER]'s post because my experience is that it is better to use an AV that uses Windows Firewall. (Eg, F-Secure, MS Defender) Also at the time this firewall break happened to me, shortly after an SSP update, I saw several posts in other places of users having the same problem. Why is funny for me to talk about ESET? I am a long-time user of ESET, I am currently running NOD32 on this computer. But I urge caution about ESET's firewall. FWIW -- take it or leave it. Perhaps they have fixed it, but I will not use it again. [/QUOTE]
