Windows 10: Eset Removal

Hello,
winver; 1903
I used Eset (One time Scan) free for a 2nd opinion. It downloaded 'esetonlinescanner_enu.exe'. Which I ran a few weeks ago.
It placed shortcut on my desktop.

Today just noticed my windows defender & Malwarebytes anti exploit icons do not appear in Task manager?
I can run WD manually and it says all clear.

Not sure what is going on? Maybe I'm over reacting.

I can see 'eset' when I click 'Start' but there is no remove option?
When I open 'eset' from desktop it says next periodic scan is '19 Jan'.

How do I get rid of eset from my system? There is nothing in Add/Remove programs?

:)

 

Eset Removal

When uninstalling antivirus software remnants can be left in the registry.
These remnants can interfere with Windows upgrades.
It's always best to use the applicable antivirus uninstall tool:

Uninstall ESET manually using the ESET uninstaller tool
Download ESET AV Remover | ESET

 

Clean Uninstall ESET

Try uninstalling your ESET first.

1. Download http://download.eset.com/special/ESETUninstaller.exe
2. Boot to Safe Mode
3. Uninstall ESET using Control Panel
4. Use the ESET Uninstaller Tool
5. Restart normally

After restarting, if you encounter a problem with your network adapter (LAN/Wi-Fi)

1. Open Network and Sharing Center
2. Click on "Change adapter settings" found on the left side
3. Right-click and choose Properties on the adapter you are currently using
4. Uninstall the one with ESET on its name
5. Click OK

How to boot to Safe Mode

1. On your Start Menu, click on Power
2. Hold the Shift key on your keyboard then click on Restart

The black screen with a cursor is actually color gray.
If this happens, just chill out and wait because Windows is still loading.
If you want to speed up your boot up process, try removing the unnecessary startup items and please do schedule a time to defrag your drives.
