Overview
ESET Internet Security is a software program developed by ESET, spol. s r.o. The most common release is 10.1.204.3, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 85 files and is usually about 557.64 KB (571,019 bytes). The installed file eguiUpdate.dll is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 30% of users of ESET Internet Security come from Germany, it is also popular in the United States and Netherlands.
