Windows 10: How I uninstall ESET ONLINE SCANNER

I'd like to ask you how I can get rid of this application: ESET ONLINE SCANNER. From time to time it scans the computer even though I never asked for that. I don't know how it was installed in my computer. I think some years ago I used an online version of this and ever since it performs scans. It is not found in “Settings” > Apps > “Installed Apps” so I don't know how I can uninstall it. It is very annoying because it appears even when I watch a video in Youtube or doing some work in my PC. I would appreciate it you could please help me to get rid of this annoying application.

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.

 

Cannot delete Purge leftover ESET Security data(ESET InternetSecurity)

Like many others I also had problems uninstalling ESET products…

I ran their free on-line AV scanner for a while and was happy, it then started giving problems – various icons would display but no writing so using it was problematical. I assumed that this might be caused by one of MS’ updates but the computer behaved correctly otherwise. In the meantime I’d downloaded and installed their NOD AV package. I did not like that so decided to uninstall both and this is where problems arose. While I was able to uninstall the NOD product via the PC apps screen the desktop icon remained and clicking on this the programme ran so it had obviously not been uninstalled properly… One of the solutions suggested on here required putting the PC into safe mode and appeared quite involved (for me) but on the ESET site there is some software that can be downloaded that will detect ‘all’ AV software and it then gives the user the option to remove any of the products detected, including ESET. This seemed ideal so I downloaded and ran their uninstaller.

I have MalwareBytes, the two ESET products and an F-Secure on line scanner which I was going to trial after uninstalling the ESET products. The ESET uninstaller did not detect ANY of the four programmes – it did not even detect its own software...

I’ve managed to look around the PC and delete all the obvious references to ESET, there are probably remnants left which I can’t find… Thinking back I seem to remember having problems with ESET products before but I assumed that these would have been sorted out by now. Obviously not.

I’ve carried out the 6 steps zbook lists in post 2 and everything comes back clean so I can only hope that whatever is left does no harm…

And there are !!!

I just typed ESET into the search box and up comes 'ESET OnLine Scanner' with an 'Open' box. When I click on it nothing happens so presumably there are still some remnants of this pest on my PC...

 

Uninstalling ESET software...

The way I would go is first download geek uninstaller Geek Uninstaller - the best FREE uninstaller .

Disable Eset - youtube video here

Run Geek then find Eset in its list and right click and select uninstall. Geek will run Eset's own uninstaller first and when that completes and asks for a reboot select NO. Geek will then continue to search for folders and registry listings for Eset to remove. Once completed only then reboot. Once back to the desktop you should find Defender back in control.
