In the error logs, the following error messages may be recorded.
Kernel: Error initializing file submission system. (Used to send suspicious files for analysis)
or
Kernel: Virus scanner initialization failed. Antivirus protection will not function properly. Most of Eset Smart Security modules will not function properly.
Other than ESET program icon which turning red, Windows Security Center red alert icon may appear with notification bubble asking user to check the computer security as there is security problems found on the system. Clicking on the notification bubble will open Windows Security Center that showing signature database for virus protection and/or spyware and other malware protection is out-of-date.

You can also goto Setup, then to the advanced setup tree.
There goto the UPDATE section, where you see a button, “clear update cache”
then click update virus signature database.
