With this issue can you please send an email to support@nod32.com and place a link to this thread. If you do not hear from Eset within 3 days (allows for weekends), please advise us here...

We would appreciate if you could keep us in the loop with your progress, as we all learn this way…

Cheers

 

sorry that took a little long,
ok i contacted them and here is what they sent:

" Hello,

There are 3 possible reasons:

1. The TMP and TEMP system variables are not defined in the system, or the directories to which they point do not actually exist on disk
* Please make sure the aforementioned variables in System properties - Advanced - Environment variables actually point to existing directories (see attached screenshots)
2. The file \Program files\Eset\nod32.000 is corrupted for some reason (e.g due to a disk error)
* Check the disk for errors using scandisk (Win 9x/ME) or chkdsk (Win NT/2000/XP/2003)
* Rename the file nod32.000 (you might need to restart Windows in Safe mode first)
* Reboot the machine (you'll get an error loading resident protection, just ignore it)
* Update NOD32
* Reboot the machine
3. The file \Program files\Eset\nod32.000 is locked by another application
* Rebooting the machine and updating NOD32 again should do the trick.

Regards,
Nigel. "

 

This could be caused by the fact that your ISP uses a transparent proxy server which you do not have configured in the update setup.

 

So, have you tried what was suggested? Has it resolved your issue?

No sort of "download acceleration" software installed, which may try to compress/decompress the download?
