Hey, Chris with the ESET Knowledgebase here. Today I'll show you how you can disable the
ESET Startup scan.
Note that if there are multiple programs running during the startup of your computer we recommend
disabling other software before you disable the ESET Startup scan. Disabling the Startup
scan can expose your system to risk.
Begin by opening your ESET product. Click Tools, Scheduler. Expanding the Name column
in the Scheduler window, we can see that there are two different Automatic startup scan tasks.
We're looking for the one that is launched at user logon.
Deselect the appropriate check box. In some cases you will receive a prompt from Windows,
click Yes if you do, and the Startup scan will be disabled until you restore this setting
in Scheduler.
