ESET antivirus breaks Node.js without warning

ESET started scanning SSL certificate chains for nodejs, which is a good feature. If you&#x27;re using node without a full chain then it will block the requests. Unfortunately, they did so without warning, which broke our GitHub Actions Runner and our dev machines.<p>ESET deployed the change silently, breaking nodejs implementations and leaving people scrabbling around trying to add node to the SSL scan exception list.<p>Is it reasonable to expect some warning before a change like this?<p>I might be forced to choose a replacement. What&#x27;s your goto brand of antivirus&#x2F;botnet detection for server and workstation with centralised cloud management?

This was a headache I could have done without. Parts of Expo are affected by this as well.<p>ESET was actually the first thing I suspected, but the feature was hidden so far back that I missed it in earlier disable-all tests.
