firewall on windows 7

hi, i cannot install smart V4 on windows 7 (64 bit) just wanted to know if it's me, i had this problem on 32 bit vista. im using nod at the moment, but have 2, 2 year licenses for smart security. am i doing something wrong? all is fine until the system reboots then i get a red icon with a message about firewall couldn't start probably due to corrupt files.

clean formatted install of windows 7 home premium, no other software installed.
download and save, right click and select install
choose typical installation
enter license details, enable detect potentially unwanted, enable allow sharing.
program updates itself eveything's fine until reboot

tried 3 times now, re-downloaded the program each time.
why is this happening?
nod 32 working great.
is this a self protection thing? i havnt tried V3 as i guessed V4 would more stable as it's the latest.
thanks

 

just tried V3 and it works a treat! strange v4 works for some and not for me. i may stick with v4 eav and windows firewall, all this doesnt really give me a lot of faith in eset firewall.

 

Had a lot of trouble with this
ESET would block internet access
Or windows 7 drivers would not contact the DNS sever

No DNS contact, no internet

So I decided to solve this by replacing the Windows 7 drivers
Or replacing the ESET firewall

Bought and installed cFosSpeed v5.00.1560

It replaced the windows 7 drivers

Presto all my internet problems went away

Well worth the 23 dollars US

Until someone can fix this at Microsoft or ESET

VER 4.0467.0 Hope this helps

 

For got to mention you can get a 30 day trial of cfosSpeed

to see if this will solve the problem

 

Hello,

Perhaps this message discussing how to obtain an updated firewall module will be of assistance.

hi, will it be posted on here when the new firewall is standars kit? i would really rather not use beta software.

 

It doesnt change anything.
Sporadic problems with internet connections when eset firewall is running.
After disabling Eset's firewall the connection is 100% ok again.

to be honest eset get a lot of stick over the firewall but i have never found a firewall that doesnt cause me some sort of problem. Maybe this is ignornace on my part, but i hate all security software, install it because i have to, and the last thing i want to do is start configuring and messing with it, some of the most infected pc's of seen have masses of security software installed and they still got infected.
didnt use a firewall for many many years never got hacked had my identity stolen i used smart v3 because it was very light and never bugged me or interfered with my masses of on line games, i really dont know how people can live with some of the bloated poorly written stand alone firewalls.
im gonna stick with eav i think.
