When i Went through my device manager i notices that there is about 150 unknown devices in network adapters list i slows my computer so much
when i check out the details the hardware id was found to be eset_epfwndismp
So i thought it is becos of eset firewall security so i removed eset and check out wht hpned bt no way i still find those unknown devices still now
i searched for registry to check weather eset is fully removed or is there any reg file left ova thre i noticed
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\Root\ESET_EPFWNDISMP

Hi, welcome to the forums :)

Have you tried removing the devices in Device Manager? You should be able to right-click and select 'Uninstall'

You may also need to remove the individual sub folders in regedit before removing the parent folder.

Did you try launching the registry editor with administrative credentials?

Open the registry editor by clicking

and typing regedit.exe into the search box. Next, either right click on the program and click Run as administrator or simply press Ctrl + Shift + Enter/Return. Provide administrative credentials when prompted. This is because the key in question is in the HKLM branch, and to modify the contents of this area of the registry it needs to invoked with administrative privileges.

Now try deleting the key.

That "device" is the firewall from ESET Smart Security,

ESET Smart Security - Internet Security - Firewall, Antivirus, Antispam

Are you running the latest or an older version? In either case start with following the instructions here,

How do I manually uninstall my ESET security product? - ESET Knowledgebase

to uninstall the version you have installed. Once done then check in Device Manager and regedit for all those devices and entries. If they are still present manually delete them, then re-install with the latest version.
