Hi Mea Culpa, welcome to Wilders.

Can you please copy your log file and post it here. I have attached a screen shot.

Cheers

 

Sure thing, how far back do you want it? I cant exactly tell you when the auto update quit functioning, do you want the complete log since november 05 2004?

I´ll copy-and-paste the update part, i hope thats the one you want to check, right?

Seems like no auto update since the beginning of November Manual works fine though.....am i supposed to get a new username/password or sumting?

 

When does your subscription run out?

I would suggest that you are up for renewal.

Cheers

 

My subscription is due for update in about a year or so, i just bought the license

 

OK, so what you are seeing is a rejection of the Username or Password. The UN and PW is CASE SENSITIVE, and as such must be typed in precisely, better still COPY and PASTE each into the Control Centre\Update\update\Setup

Be careful not to copy a "space" at the end of your PW as Nod32 will see this as part of your PW and reject it.

Cheers

 

Thanks for your answers. As i pointed out in my first post the auto update function has been working very well from day 1 when i installed NOD32, but now it suddenly ceased to function. I have not made any changes whatsoever to the setup. It is still possible to do a manual update by forcing it through the "Update now" button in the NOD32 Control Center. That makes it hard for me to believe that this is a user/password issue.

 

The only explanation for this behaviour is that the Automatic update task uses a different profile with expired username and password.

 

This issue though has only cropped up since placing in your renewal UN and PW from what you said above.

Can you download a FRESH copy of Nod32 from www.nod32.com

Uninstall Nod32

Remove the Eset Folder from C Drive> Program Files.

Reinstall the FRESH copy of Nod32 that you downloaded above.

Let us know how you go…

Cheers

 

Only got one profile, the default "My profile".......

 

Again, thank you for your efforts to help me. I have not replaced any username and password at all since this is a newly bought license and there´s no need for any renewal information. The username/password used here is the one and only i´ve got and the one and only ever used.

I´ll download a new copy from the website and do as suggested.....i´ll even go one step further and remove any reminiscences from the registry

 

Sorry, I misread one of your origional posts.

Hopefully this will fix your problem.

Let us know how you go...

Cheers

 

So.....i´ve uninstalled, did a reg clean and reinstalled NOD32, scheduled regular automatic updates once every hour (the default setting) and when checking the logs there´s only one entry and that´s the update made when installing. But.....when checking the scheduler it says that it triggers automatic updates once every hour, as configured. So hopefully this will work again, can´t really say before a new virus signature file is available.......we´ll have to wait

 

That's ok, I have time

Hopefully this has fixed it.

Let us know how you go...

Cheers

 

Hi dudes. Seems like the reinstallation fixed the auto update problem, had two successful updates now and all seems OK....thanx for the help, Blackspear.....

 

Good to see, and my pleasure MC.

All the best...

Cheers
