Windows toolbar flickering after installing NOD32 v.4

[arek1]

Hi All,

After clean install of NOD32 v.4 on my computer Windows toolbar start flickering. I have set autohiding Windows toolbar and randomly every 5-30 seconds toolbar is apearing for moment. After uninstalled NOD32 all is OK. Does anybody know solution?

My system:
NOD32 4.0.314.0
Win Vista Business SP1

Best wishes

Upsss... I not found this threats but yes still now solution on all three threats. I hope NOD team have knowledge about this error. I think this error is connected with Aero theme.

I also thought it was Aero, as I have Aero disabled and I wasn't seeing it.

But I am now....

I don't have the taskbar auto-hidden, it's visible all the time, and I'm using "classic" theme with most of the pointless Windows services disabled (Theme manager, help center etc). Now today I see a small window flashing periodically, just by the ESET icon. Nothing else down there does it, and nothing else is new software, just ESET. So it could be linked.

I have this checked mark all the time but blinking is still there
Thank you for tip.

maybe it has something to do with taskbar appearance..
under taskbar, I have the following checked:

lock the taskbar

autohide the taskbar

keep taskbar on top of other windows

group similat taskbar buttons

[jimwillsher]

I have:

Lock - ticked
Auto-hide - unticked
Keep on top - ticked
Group similar - unticked
Show Quick launch - ticked
Show window previews - unticked (disabled, as I have Aero disabled)

I'm only seeing the window periodically, and it's too quick to read.

It is strange because when I untick auto-hide filckering go away. It is only when Auto-hide is on.

I have it on all Vista machines I tried (like 4). All are 32 bit Business with Aero. It's not a driver issue; I have Nvidia, Ati and Intel. It's just that the hidden bar is shown for the fraction of a second. Probably some bad coding to suppress a message or modify the icon, though it happens even when I have all the (sorry) idiotic "effect" stuff in the NOD options.

I have the same problem. I've found a few threads here about it, but no acknowledgement from ESET and no suggestions for fixing it.

Are ya'll using 4.0.417, or 4.0.314? I see the OP has 314, which is what I'm using, too. Does 417 fix the issue?

[mikeblas]

I installed 4.0.314 and that didn't help. Has anyone heard from ESET regarding this issue?

[mikeblas]

I contacted support about this issue, and the reply I received indicated I should uninstall and re-install NOD32. I did that, and of course it made no change in the symptoms.

Has anyone received an acknowledgment from ESET about the problem, or found a solution?

...canned response.

It's the same thing they sent me for an entirely different issue.

[mikeblas]

Yeah. It's a little insulting. They followed up with a request that I uninstall to see if the problem really is NOD32, and asking for links to the forum topics about the issue. Apparently, they're not aware of the problem.
