    Please disable your antivirus program while running this scan to avoid running into issues with your existing program conflicting with the online scan.

    You can use either Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox for this scan.

      • Scan for potentially unsafe applications
      • Enable Anti-Stealth Technology

    • When the download is finished, the Online Scan will begin automatically.
    • Do not touch either the Mouse or keyboard during the scan otherwise it may stall.
    • When the scan completes, click List of found threats

    NOTE: You may see some lines similar to the below in ESETs log
    These are FALSE detections which can be ignored. Rest assured that MGtools is clean. process.exe is just a simple command line based Task Manager tool.
