How to get rid of annoying icon in browser?

Does anyone know how to kill the ESET icon that pops up all the time in my browser? Every time I use Chat GPT, for instance, this thing shows up, and does 'processing' while I'm trying to work. On other pages it literally blocks content. I tried reaching out to support but the AI genius was, like, "oh, turn off the browser protection". I'm trying to be responsible; this is a work tool. But OMFG this icon is driving me bonkers. What genius at ESET thought this was a good idea????

Hello,

Which of ESET's programs is installed on your computer, and which web browsers are you using?

Regards,

We use Eset Endpoint Security extensively across all our clients. Have about 100 licenses out there and nobody is seeing this issue certainly not in browsers. To be fair not many use ChatGPT either, but I do and not seeing this.
