I'm running windows 7 64-bit as well as the 64-bit version of eset nod32. So if above is the case, what are 64-bit people supposed to do and why include this feature in your 64-bit software that can't work anyway?

i get a message when eset boots up. It is "there is a known compatibilty issue" but i run it anyway. I get the daily upgrades. Etc i would think that as soon as windows7 is officially released to manufacture ( rtm) there will be a slew of upgrades for eset and many others

Hi LENW, what message do you get from eset when your computer boots up?

i AM USING ESET NOD32 VERSION 3.0.669 AND THE MESSAGE SIMPLY STATES THAT THERE ARE KNOWN COMPATIBILTY ISSUES . IT THEN GIVES ME 3 OPTIONS.1 CONTACT ESET; 2 RUN; 3 CANCEL..I RUN AND GET THE GREEN EYEBALL AND THEN i GET THE DAYS UPGRADES. BTW I NEVER SAW ANY OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A RESCUE DISK AND I HAVE BEEN USING ESET FOR CLOSE TO 3 YEARS.

Grab the latest version. I guess the upgrade is free.

You should be able to use your v3 registration for v4.

Yup. I was able to do this a while ago. Another reason to love ESET: software upgrades included with your subscription, along with pick-and-choose your platform.

With Symantec and others: "oh, you need to buy the Y upgrade because you have X version" b.s.

On a side note, we don't want everyone using this antivirus product made by Microsoft (as if that would ever happen). If everyone used the same antivirus product, everyone would have the same virus signatures and likely would also get infected by the same virus.

Hah well put

But yea, I'd stick with ESET's NOD32, or ESET's s\Smart Security. Never hut me
