Proper exclusions for XPe FBWF

I have Nod32 4.2 running on XPe (Windows Embedded Standard, which is XP SP3.) I have the FBWF write filter enabled so these Wyse thin clients revert to their original settings at reboot.

I have excluded the C:\program files\eset\eset nod32 antivirus folder from FBWF as well as the ALL USERS Eset folder. However this is not enough

What are the proper exclusions for FBWF and Nod32? Or is there some extra step I need to do to make this work?

Per this I have exceed minimum requirements for running on Embedded.

Hello,

Since you don't specify the exact issue you're having, I'd suggest taking a look at this KB article, see if that helps you. Otherwise, please provide additional details about your problem.

Thank you.

 

My RAM drive is already set to 100MB.

I solved this myself. To get Nod32 4.2 to update on a thin client with the FBWF filter enabled, one must run the following commands;

C:\Windows\System32\Fbwfmgr.exe /enable

C:\Windows\System32\Fbwfmgr.exe /addexclusion C: "\Program Files\ESET\ESET NOD32 Antivirus"

C:\Windows\System32\Fbwfmgr.exe /addexclusion C: "\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ESET\ESET NOD32 Antivirus"

And then REBOOT the device. The order is important. After the reboot, open the Nod32 GUI and go into advanced update options. Clear the update cache.

Now my Wyse XPe thin clients with Nod32 are updating their antivirus pattern files!!!

-- I should mention that the first 3 days after committing the image, Nod32 was updating fine. Then after 3 days it would quit updating prior to this change. This is mentioned in case someone else has these problems and Googles this post.

 

Hi,

Glad you sorted it out. Thank you for your feedback!
