ESET NOD32 Antivirus

ESET NOD32 Smart security

There are a few ways to make StaffCop agent Eset Nod32 cooperate.

The first way

  • Open the program by clicking the Eset Nod icon in the right part of the Windows task bar

  • Open “Settings”

  • Open “Web-access protection → Advanced setup”

  • Turn off HTTPS checking (option Enable checking HTTPS protocol).

The second way

This way is more preferable as it makes the antivirus and StaffCop agent cooperate without any conflicts.

You should adding the root certificate of Staffcop agent to the antivirus.

Download the root certificate for the driver-version:

NeonLightInc.crt (Mozilla)

NeonLightInc.cer (Windows)

The certificates are to be copied to the workstation with the access to the central administrative server managing the anti-virus settings or to a local workstation if it must be imported there at the same time.

Then you should import the certificate to “List of known certificates” as shown on the picture below.

../../_images/exclusions_4.png

When the certificate is imported it’s better to reload both the service of the StaffCop-agent and the internet browser.

To reload the agent you need to open the command line interface with Run as administrator run the following commands:

c:WindowsSysWOW64TimeControlSvcvmnetdrv64.exe stop c:WindowsSysWOW64TimeControlSvcvmnetdrv64.exe start

Then check the work of the web-sites on your browser once again.

Note

The paths to the required setting may vary in dependance on the version of the software.

ESET NOD32 Endpoint 5.x

../../_images/eset_333.JPG

When you are done editing click FINISH. The changes in policy will be applied on all the workstations where it’s used.

Note

This exclusions setting were checked on ESET Endpoint of version 7.0.2100.46.55.0.2272 and ESET Security Management Center Version 7.0 (7.0.577.0), perhaps on other versions of ESET Endpoint AntivirusESET Management Center - additional actions may be required. If you meet any troubles contact our support team (support@staffcop.com), tell them the type of the error and your version of Management Center and Endpoint Antivirus.

Warning

If an endpoint agent was installed before the exclusions were added agent, re-installation is required otherwise some modules can operate incorrectly.

Note

If your antivirus continues to delete StaffCop agent after configuring the exclusions, make sure that they were applied on workstations. To do that, open your antivirus settings and see current exclusions.

If you don’t want to add C:\windows\installer\ to exclusions, you can exclude the following:

Win32/KeyLogger.StaffCop.E
Win32/KeyLogger.StaffCop.D
Win64/KeyLogger.StaffCop.E
Win64/KeyLogger.StaffCop.D
