ESET Will not run. Kernal communication issue.

Hello everyone I run Windows XP professional sp3, I've been using ESET Nod32 for a few months now, I really like it. My system recently contracted the antivirus live spyware, nasty little bug. I was able to delete it through a couple steps and Malware bytes, however ESET will no longer work now. I had to enter Safe mode with networking in able to destroy the spyware, apparently during the process, my administration privileges changed and Nod32 can not communicate with the kernal. I'm unsure exactly what I did inadvertently to cause this issue. While I was in safemode, I did switch to diagnostic startup, which loaded basic services, I'm unsure if this would have goofed up ESET's loading process. I did reload back into normal mode after the spyware was contained and removed, now ESET will not work at all. I'm unsure what to do from this point on, any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

reinstall Eset

 

I'd suggest you start Windows in safe mode with networking and running a full scan with the ESET online scanner. If no threat is found, contact customer care and provide them a log from SysInspector along with a description of the problem.

 

Thank you, I'll give that a try and contact customer support if it does not work.

 

Update on the issue, The online scanner found two threats, they were win32/adware.spyprotector.n applications, quarantined and deleted, but ESET Nod32 is still not working upon start up, I still receive the "Error when communicating to kernal". Will contact customer support, and send in a logfile using inspector.
