Disabling NOD32 Update NAG Message

How can I disable the NOD32 V3 update NAG message at bootup?

This is a Win XP system that I just restored from the original backup image I did when I built it several years ago.

I installed XP SP3 and NOD32 V3 (up from V2.7).

Now every time the system boots I get a NAG message. I turned off the NOD32 tray balloon, now I get this message in the middle of the screen:

"Your System is exposed to risk. For more information click on this notification".

This is a stand alone box that rarely connects to the web. I have customized full time protection running and I do manual scans and updates as needed.

It's not running most of the time but needs to boot quickly without a bunch of automatic update stuff going on when it is used.

I have all of the automatic update stuff on the system turned off. I don't need a nanny to watch over me! The red NOD32 tray icon is enough of a reminder.

So is there any way to turn off that message?

Chas.

Thanks but that link is for V4 settings not V3. It also looks like it's a Vista feature, not XP.

 

I am so sorry . I haven't read and understood well your message . This "nag" message means something .

Could you post a screenshot of NOD32's protection statusm screen so that we see what it actually says.

 

This is a screen shot of the NAG message. It occasionally pops up at random. When I click on the link several small windows load and close and the message goes away. It's become a real annoyance.

 

I mean this screen :

The protection status and what it states

 

you have your NOD set up wrong, you have it set to display this message on the desktop, instead of the system tray where it is displayed by default.go to your notification options, first see the reason why nod isn't working right which makes you get this in the first place.

 

NOD32 V3 is set up correctly to meet my needs for this PC.

I turned off the NOD32 tray bubble messages because I didn't want or need the constant NAGGING and this is what happened.

I don't want ANY unnecessary NAGGING messages. They are for newbies. I've been using AV software for 15 years and I don't need a nanny looking over my shoulder.

How do I turn this feature completely OFF?

 

I mean display balloon tips in taskbar setting seems uncheck in your advanced options alerts and notifications.

thats advanced options / user interface settings / alerts and notifications.

 

Uncheck " display alerts " in the advanced options / user interface settings / alerts and notifications.

 

Uncheck every box in that section.

 

oooops.... If you want it off your settings should look like this:

 

Or:

 

I'd suggest posting here a screenshot of the status protection pane so that we know the reason for getting the warning message.

 

The warning message is because I turned off automatic updates AND the Tray balloon messages. If I turn the Tray balloon back and auto updates back on then then the NAGGING goes away.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, I fixed the problem for now. I removed V3 and reinstalled V2.7 which provides adequate protection for this PC for now.

I had V4 installed and found it slow so I tried V3. The problem is that ESET is succumbing "Feature Sprawl" syndrome. Adding more and more unnecessary features just like Mickeysoft!

 

I'm not the OP, but my setup is as shown here:



and I get hassled with "warnings" as well.

In desperation, I tried setting the "close messageboxes automatically" option to 1 second - but even that last-ditch attempt fails dismally, as it gets changed to 10s after the next reboot - defeating the object of setting it...

I've also posted all my other settings in this thread: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=255992

Everything message-related seems turned OFF, but it still continuously interrupts me while I'm trying to work, stopping me from getting on with things...

 

Note: The "Disable alerts" setting doesn't make any difference

 

Emmkay........ it must be somewhere else then in 4.0, mabe that advanced button has more options ?
