Update rollback

If you suspect that a new update of the detection engine and/or program modules may be unstable or corrupt, you can roll back to the previous version and disable updates for a set period of time. Alternatively, you can enable previously disabled updates if you had postponed them indefinitely.

ESET Endpoint Antivirus records snapshots of detection engine and program modules for use with the rollback feature. In order to create virus database snapshots, leave the Create snapshots of modules switch enabled. The Number of locally stored snapshots field defines the number of previous detection engine snapshots stored.

If you click Rollback (Advanced setup (F5) > Update > Basic > Module rollback), you have to select a time interval from the drop-down menu that represents the period of time that the detection engine and program module updates will be paused.

Select Until revoked to postpone regular updates indefinitely until you restore update functionality manually. Because it represents a potential security risk, we do not recommend selecting this option.

The detection engine version is downgraded to the oldest available and stored as a snapshot in the local computer file system.
