Why don't you uninstall NOD32 . Goto Add/Remove programs in Control panel and then remove it . Reboot . Goto C:\Program files and manually delete the ESET folder .

Make sure you have a firewall turned ON.
Then download the latest version of NOD32

Trial version :

Commercial version :
http://www.eset.com/download/registered_software.php

Install NOD32 on your computer . Restart . Don't do anything special, just allow NOD files to pass-by your firewall and then update it . Actually , make sure NOD files are allowed to connect to internet !!!

After you update your NOD32 , make sure you configure it correctly . This should guide you:
