Check at www.eset.co.uk for the latest version of your software. Download and run the install, some upgrades can be run over your existing install,others require you to un-install then install the new version.

Also check at www.wilderssecurity.com for any comments/issues with the latest versions.

Just upgraded 1x Win7 64bit PC all went smoothly and there is a noticeable difference in the speed of the machine. Off to do 2 more now.

All done......... 2 x 64bit Win7 and 1x 32bit Win7. No issues upgrading and all are more responsive with this upgrade.

[Niall]

I updated NOD32 to the 64bit version and I can't say I've noticed a difference, and I forgot to look at memory use with the old version before upgrading. I'm useless (and very hungover )

[Baz]

[attachment deleted by admin]

[DorsetBoy]

It is telling you that there is/are Windows updates available for your system.

[Baz]

yeah  its the ones I dont want to update but why is Nod telling me when it didnt use to before.

[Rik]

well ive gone up to version 4 but I dont like how NOD is now telling me to update windows  whats with that.can you stop it doing it

I don't think you can stop it, Baz, essentially it's duplicating Windows auto-update feature. I find it annoying too.

The feature was introduced in v3.
