Problem with NOD32 and Windows

Noreen · Jul 14, 2009, 10:59:53

As you probably know I haven't been doing much on my computer (Vista) but this morning I got this message. Any ideas?

I can only suggest a call/email to Eset, Noreen, sorry.

Noreen · Jul 14, 2009, 11:04:09

I think that I'll live with it for now, Rik, can't really cope with it at the moment. I know that NOD32 is working anyway.

Can you turn off the alert in Vista, as you can in XP?

Simon · Jul 14, 2009, 11:12:13

A reboot may help, Noreen. I get weird messages on my Vista machine about F-Secure sometimes.

Noreen · Jul 14, 2009, 11:18:19

I've already turned the machine off and on again with no effect. I think that it must be the latest automatic defs download as I didn't have it yesterday. Perhaps the next download may fix it.

More than likely, Noreen.

Rik · Jul 14, 2009, 11:25:11

NOD has been a little weird in the past week.

I would not worry its Windows causing the issues Noreen here is a quote from Kaspersky forum

"Please do not pay attention to that warning, this is due to Microsoft`s change in Vista Security Center format. As we can see, many Av products are showing this alert now. This is clearly a misconfiguration on Microsoft`s side. We are working with Microsoft so they remove that warning in nearest future"

Good old MS. Thanks, Gary.

Ray · Jul 14, 2009, 15:53:55

Thanks, Gary, I was wondering if it was specific to Vista as I've not seen it happening on XP.

Gary · Jul 14, 2009, 16:11:55

Typical MS, lets just change the format, then oops look what happened.

Noreen · Jul 14, 2009, 17:11:01

Thanks Gary, I've stopped the Windows Security Centre monitoring it for now.

Just to add installing vista SP2 stops this behaviour.

Noreen · Jul 16, 2009, 10:40:00

SP2 won't install, there's a previous thread about this. I'm not the only one with the SP2 problem.

I remember Noreen thats most odd I think OEMs mucked things up, also running your AV never helps I shut mine down so it could not boot and disturb the install after the first phase, thats why I hate computers now, they are just tools and best forgotten about as much as possible, I used to reinstall worry when it didnt do things right, now as long as it boots and i can watch a few things on the BBC iplayer browse and have email I don't really mind the quirks, you did the best thing shutting down the warning you know NOD works and thats that

I dare say that these problems are easily solved but I don't feel able to cope with them at the moment as I have a broken arm.

Noreen tbh its best left as it is, if your pc works thats all that matters

Hope your arm gets better soon.

Re this problem. I'm running v3 at the moment, I seem to remember that after some recent problems it was recommended that people should revert to v3 from v4 but I don't know whether that still applies. http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2292

As NOD32 is working anyway I'm going to live with it for now.
