For the third computer in a row, the ESET on-line scanner screen changes color and you can't read the statistics after about 45 minutes into the scan. Pete mentioned that others are observing the same. Has anyone here been able to successfully ran an ESET on-line scan lately?

No, Tony.

I'll give it a try and let you know, Tony.

I'm sure that it was Dougie that mentioned he got it to complete in Safe Mode with Networking... although it did freeze a few times.

It wouldn't complete for me.

The Eset forums are full of this:

 

Online scanner crashes

 

ESET Online Scanner crashes during a scan

 

Free online scanner finishes with GUI unreadable or black

 

Online Scanner v2 Crashes before completion

 

 

Seems it's a rubbish new version.

Version 1 is still available and those that have tried it say that it still works fine....

 

ESET Online Scanner 1.0

Thanks, Pete!

Yeah, thanks Pete.

I just read thru the links at Starbuck posted about the ESET scanner crashing. Looks like the crashing started a few weeks ago. Hopefully ESET is listening.

I managed to get the scan to complete.Just lucky I suppose.

Did freeze for up to 5 mins twice during the scan.

 

There are other good online scanners, you can use.

I have used Kapersky and found it quite good, in the past.
