Desktop notifications

Desktop notification is represented by small notification window next to system taskbar. By default, it is set to show for 10 seconds, then it slowly disappears. This is the main way how ESET Endpoint Antivirus communicates with user, notifying about successful product updates, new devices connected, virus scans tasks completion or new threat found.
