I looked but didn't see where to do this. I even tried turning off ALL
functions that allowed themselves to be de-activated and it still blocked
me.

I sent an email to Eset but haven't heard anything back yet.

I'll update this thread as soon as they ;et me know something.

Not familiar with Eset but I know that McAfee's worm blocking module
does not turn completely off when you "disable" it. It seem that you
must uninstall it.
