Borked ESET antivirus update says entire web is too risky to browse

ESET Hell

I was alerted to this by a couple of users, out of about 60 that utilise ESET.

I didn't make anyone else aware for 2 reasons:

Firstly, I didn't want to make people take a blasé approach to viruses being detected on their computers.

Secondly to gauge the reaction, ie; who will be responsible and say that they're getting warnings of virus detections on their PC's. Only 1 other person contacted me that day...

I found a post on the ESET forum that changing the update mode to allow 'Pre-Release Updates' resolved the issue after a 75MB-ish download.

None of the sites affected utilise the Management Console, so it wasn't limited in that respect.
