Using NOD as a back up on demand?

[notageek]

What process can I kill in order for me to use NOD as a back up on demand scanner? I still want to get manual updates.

Hi notageek,
you don't need to kill any process in order to use NOD32 on-demand scanner. Also, updates are only performed automatically if the relevant task is scheduled in Scheduler/Planner.

If I understand your question, you want to use NOD as an on demand scanner only? And keep the other programs from running? If you want to disable AMON from loading on startup, that can be done from the AMON panel. Ditto with IMON. And the auto update function can be cancelled from the update panel so you can update manually when you wish.

I haven't done all this so don't first hand if disabling all those settings results in the Control Panel or anything else not loading at all, which seems to be what you want if I understand your question.

Thanks Macro and sig. I just didn't want a process loading and messing with my resident scannner.

That's what I thought you wanted. Well try disabling all those and then check running to see if anything's from NOD is still running and if any problems result when you run another real time AV monitor.

Out of curiosity and future reference for the rest of us, let us know how it goes. :)

Understandable as this is what is used by nod to do updates
