Request Error (invalid_request)

I got that error message while operating on various forums, forms, scripts... and while IMON (Internet Monitor) in NOD32 is enabled. As soon as IMON is disabled there are no problems is submitting the forms or operating the forums.

How should I set-up the settings in order to enable IMON monitoring?

In other words...
My guess is that IMON should be enabled (according to the recommended configuration). And if so, what are the setup options that will prevent the a/m errors?

 

Does anyone has encountered a similar problem?
I mean, got an error page like this..

P.S. Googling for "Request Error (invalid_request)", I got several pages...

 

Hello and Welcome to Wilders !

I would suggest performing the suggestions here

 

Thanks for the reply, HiTech_boy.

Unfortunately, Winsock has no effect on a problem. (Although, I repaired it, as instructed.)
All my programs were set already on "Higher Compatibility" by default.

Currently I'm able to operate the Web (Forms, Forums, etc.) with unchecked "HTTP" tab in IMON.

BTW, I was told that "the next version of NOD32 will be sans IMON". I guess that's the reason of leaving that bug unresolved.

Any comments are most welcome!

 

You are welcome !

Ok , keep in mind that the overall security level is still High because the most important level of protection in NOD32 is AMON (the Access Monitoring) performing resident scans on all files on-create,on-access and on-execute

Ok . I would suggest you now to uninstall NOD32 Anti-threat system , repair Winsock and reinstall NOD32 .

1) Download a fresh copy of NOD32 for your correct operating system
Full paid version

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

3) Reboot

4) Goto C:\Program files and manually delete the folder ESET

5) Repair Winsock now

To repair Winsock in
Windows XP SP2 only

Goto Start –> Run
type cmd and click OK.
Type netsh winsock reset
Press ENTER . Restart immediately !

Note that there is a space between the commands , example netshSPACEwinsockSPACEreset


Windows XP and XP SP1
Download and run http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html

Reboot

6) Install NOD32 from the file you just downloaded in step 1
Use Typical settings

7) Make sure you have stable i-net connection and NOD32 (nodkrn.exe) is allowed to go through your firewall and Update NOD

8 ) Enjoy

How is it going now . Also what firewall are you using / browser / versions ? And YES , in the next version ESET are supposed to removed IMON but exchange it with something else , should be even better and trouble free

 

Thanks for the reply, HiTech_boy.

My firewall is ZoneAlarm Pro v6.5, and I run Maxthon as default browser, and also IE 7, and Firefox 2. I use quite a few anti-spyware programs, including:
- Windows Defender
- Spybot - Search & destroy
- Ad-Aware SE Personal
- AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5 (a.k.a. Ewido)
- Spyware Terminator v1.7.0.899
- ProcessGuard v3.410
- SpywareBlaster and
- SpywareGuard

I am just evaluating NOD32 anti-virus, my version is a trial one. I don't have a password for the full paid version as you suggested. So, it probably be an overkill to reinstall my current version.

BTW, any ideas when the next version of ESET (with "modified and trouble free" IMON) will hit the market ?

P.S. If a user finds and reports a bug in the program, does s/he entitled to get a free fully functional program (i.e. a free registration)?

 

Even if you have free trial version , you can again reinstall it
The link will be
Trial version

The instructions above are still valid . I'd suggest you disable the protections of Windows Defender and Spybot's Tea Timer prior to installing NOD32 . Let us know how you're going then

Also , your Zone Alarm can be messing with the Winsock . Repair Winsock , Reinstall ZA , reinstall NOD32

HiTech_boy, thank you for replying.

I'm going to give a try to WinSock XP Fix 1.2 ( http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4372.html ) before reinstalling NOD32 and other apps.

I will inform the outcome (if my system is still working ).

 

OK, after running WinSock XP Fix 1.2 my system is alive, but...
1. there were several error messages while running the above program
2. now my system behave a bit strangely, i.e. when I run my default browser (Maxthon) everything is working no errors. But when I use Firefox 2, I still get the same error page - "Request Error (invalid_request)".
