    Hi,

    I recently changed computers and had to upgrade to Vista 64-bit. When I tried installing NOD32 Antivirus the AMON would not start. It just said "Malfunctioning". This was on a completely clean Windows installation. I have tried with versions 3.0.667 and 3.0.684 as well as the v4 BETA. Same problem. I can still update the software, but AMON refuses to work, which has forced me to install another antivirus software.

    Computer spec:
    Core i7 920
    Asus P6T Deluxe
    6 GB Corsair DDR3
    Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit

    Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

    Did you actually install the 64bit version?

    I have never had any problems using NOD with Vista 64x. You must have something else going on that is causing your problem. It's not Vista.

    Of course I installed the 64bit version :D

    I understand that the problem isn't Vista, since I know several people who have NOD32 installed on Vista 64, but there has to be some sort of service not working/started or a setting that prevents AMON to work on my computer. I can't figure out what it is though.

    Hi, muppen100

    Welcome to Wilders.

    I have no Idea why you are having problems.

    Only to say I Installed NOD32 v3 x64 on both Vista Ultimate x64 and Windows 7 x64 Beta without any problem, I also tested v4 [which I am not to keen on] on both OS without a problem.

    Sorry I could be of no real help to you.

    Take Care,
    TheQuest :cool:

    iirc amon was a component from the old nod32 v2.x

    currently using nod32 v3 versions .621 up to .657 on vista64/xp64/2003x64 without any issues.

    Hello muppen100,

    Try disabling UAC and reboot.

    Thank you,
    Richard
