NOD32 Updating

Hi there

Just uninstalled BitDefender 10, because it was a resource hog, even for my CoreDuo processor. I don't like an antivirus which can't be set to maximum protection. Was very pleased with it anyways, since it found 2 malware my previous antivirus (avast!) didn't know about.

Anyways, based on reviews, av-comparatives.org's results and different antivirus rankings found on the web, I decided to give NOD32 a try. Great AV, runs almost unnoticed. It set it up with Blackspear's settings. I'm seriously considering buying this product.

I do have a problem however. Today (installed trial version yesterday) I decided to "force" an update, to see what happens (Previous AV I had updated definition several times a day, and I'm still running yesterdays definitions). But it asks for Username and Password, as if it was about to upgrade to full version. Is this normal? Will I be able to update definitions?
I read in another thread that it gives priority to registered users. I'm OK with that, if I pay for a product I want to have priority, but is this the case? I don't remember anyone writing about a password being asked.

Thanks

 

Hi !

You either installed wrong version or pressed a wrong button (Full version button instead of Update now )

This button (2) is wrong if you want to update VSD


However , if you want to perform manual update , just press Update now next to the shown one . When NOD32 updates successfully (either manually or automatically) you'll see a ballon like this:

Thanks for the input, but i did press the proper button.
As for the version, I downloaded 30-day trial from eset.com yesterday.

Regards

It does not ask for username , really .

1. Please , press the Update now button now and see what happens?
2. Open Control Center -> NOD32 System Tools -> Information . In the right section , there is a button called Copy to Clipboard , press it.
Then come here and put the info using Copy/Paste . It will give us clear idea of some things

Thanks

thanks for your help

 

BTW, updates still requesting password


if I hit cancel, I get this:

 

Ok . Can you please try the following:

1) Download the latest fresh version of NOD32 v 2.7 for your operating system
Here is a direct link for ESET NOD32 2.7 trial version in English for your OS - Windows XP

2) Open Control Panel-> Add/Remove programs and Uninstall NOD32

3) Reboot when prompt

4) After restart , go to C:\Program files and manually delete the folder ESET

5) Install NOD32 from the file you downloaded in step 1
Use "Typical" install

6) Make sure you have stable internet connection and NOD32 (nod32krn.exe) is allowed to go through your firewall. Then Update NOD32 .

How are things going on now?
