ESET questions

Nod32 works flawlessly on Windows 7. I run version 4 of Antivirus x64 and have had no problems with it at all, even going back to early 7 betas.

NOD32 is brilliant. The problems people are having are with the firewall. I don't use it because of these varying issues

+1 NOD32 x64 AV working great for me too. Didn't try the firewall that came with Smart Security. Had a major issue using Outpost and read about a lot of problems with Comodo so I'm sticking with plain ol' Windows Firewall until these firewall companies get a better handle on Windows 7.

i feel quite safe running NOD32 and Windows Firewall

Oh yeah, same here...don't get me wrong.

But, given the choice, I would personally rather run NOD32 and Outpost Firewall Pro. Unfortunately, I've had nothing but issues with their Outpost's Windows 7 beta version. Thing was great on XP and Vista though, but with Seven, I can barely keep my PC stable long enough to uninstall the darned thing.

I noticed a problem in ESS. When i go to Programs and Features, there's no entry for ESET Smart Secuirity. I opened revo uninstaller and still dont see any entry for Eset Smart Security. However, its working fine and its able to scan and update. What's wrong?

 

[Stabgotham]

I don't think the Revo thing is an ESET problem. I've noticed that Revo misses a lot of my installled programs...leaving me to the Windows Add/Remove Programs feature.

@ Stabgotham, I know its not a Revo issue. However, even windows add/remove programs is not detecting ESET. That was my question.

reinstall it and it should re-write the registry values and unninstal informations.

And how do you reinstall it?

 

[kegobeer]

And how do you reinstall it?

Run the installer again.

 

[ratePV]

And how do you reinstall it?

Dont! just run the installer again and install it in the same folder as your current one.

 

[Dinesh]

i ran the installer, cant even repair or uninstall, it says, "ekrn.exe is missing or corrupt. so i just ran a system back up and fixed the things.

In eset smart security ver 4.x you need to define the zone as trusted ( or the individual machines) in the advanced setup firewall menu

Ken

After i did that(and adding the ip of my machines in my home network)
it magically started working!
THAKS zigzag3143!
One problem less!

If you buy Smart Security 4 and they release something afterwards that's more compatible (Which I doubt they will do, since 4 is already fully compatible) You can just pick up the phone, give them a call and tell them you bought a license for 4 and would like an upgrade/discount for 5 or whatever version they'd have and they will do it for free.

I was running Nod 32 v3.x and one day, when I did a routine update, it upgraded to v4.x -- and did that without my having to pay anything.

So, unless they've change their upgrade policies, or Smart Security is handled differently from NOD 32 AV, should you buy v4.x now, it's most likely you will get a free upgrade to v5.x should that come out within the next few months.

i m back to eset nod32 4 av. the firewall in ess really gave me nothing but pain these days.
