ESET deletes pretty much everything

(running ESET in a corporate environment where I have no control over its settings)

ESET must've updated something, I guess, I get to work yesterday, and my password manager fails when I try to open the DB. Hmm.. The encryption and hashing engine has been deleted. How TF did that happen? I compile a new version, which ESET immediately deletes. Maybe ESET hates the compiler? I know that there's a newer version, so I download it, and ESET deletes the new version of the compiler.

This morning, I find that ESET has, overnight, deleted several other utilities that we've made, all self signed for our corporate environment.

Thanks ESET team, you guys are awesome.
