Yes.


Uninstall eset Cyber Security:

You should uninstall it. It just gets in the way, doing its part trying to overrule the settings of macOS.


Use the Uninstaller:

You’d find the uninstaller on the developer’s site. Just dragging-and-dropping it to the Trash will leave temporary files laying about.


Restart the Mac - Next Use Malwarebytes:

Once uninstalled, restart the Mac. Then install Malwarebytes for Mac. Malwarebytes for Mac is developed by longtime users of these forums, making it only reliable security software for Mac.
