ESET has obtained replacement certificates to sign binaries of its Windows products because ESET’s SHA-1 code signing certificates are expiring in a short time.
Operating systems or ESET products without SHA-2 support might stop working.
See the following page for details on how to resolve it: SHA-2 required compatibility

Details
|
ESET has identified that our kernel has a problem with verification of the timestamp of an already expired certificate (expired by 7th Feb 2020). This method fails and our modules in earlier, legacy versions, are declared as untrusted and therefore are not loaded. This mechanism ensures that no untrusted library is loaded.
As a result, the affected versions fail to load modules (HIPS, Update, Device Control, Web and Email protection) and are not functional, therefore the protection is not functional.
For more information, refer to the ESET Knowledgebase article.
