ESET Smart Security and MBD

Options

‎07-18-2012 09:02 AM

Hi all,

 

I recently installed ESET Smart Security on my laptop. Ever since I did this, the WD Quick View no longer detects my MBD, unless I disable the firewall. I tried adding WDDMStatus.exe to the firewall with full permissions, but that didn't remedy the situation. Any ideas on how to get these two programs working together? Thanks!

Also try adding the MBD IP number to the firewall allowed list.

Hmm, so it's not working again?

 

 

Maybe I need to open a certain port?
