Requesting Clarification on Extra Settings

Sorry to show my ignorance here but I would like some clarification on the "Extra Settings for NOD32" sticky thread posted by Blackspear because I am trying to make sure I have everything set up as suggested.

1) Just what is the "Nod32 Kernel - Execution of an external application". I am presuming it is an external scan of my system which is independent of whatever may be happening locally.

2) When I try to set this schedule to run I get an extra window asking me to specify files. I just want to have a weekly scan of my hard drive and don't seem to be able to specify just a drive or several drives.

Can you help with some clarification of this?

I am used to NIS which comes set up out of the box and I am on a steep learning curve here. Have pity on me.

Hi Elray when you follow each step through the final part is browsing to

C Drive
Program Files
Eset

At this point you click on "Nod32.exe"

In the "Command Line" box simply copy and paste the following line:

C:\ /clean /ah /all /subdir+ /heur+ /scanfile+ /scroll+ /arch+ /pack+ /mapi- /pattern+ /scanboot+ /scanmbr+ /heurdeep /log+ /prompt /program

You should now have a weekly scan of your "C" drive set up.

To test it go to:

Nod32 Control Centre
Nod32 System Tools
Schedular/Planner
Right Click on the name of the Scheduled scan you have just made
Click on "Run Now"

Hope this helps...

Cheers

 

Hi Blackspear,

Thank you so much for taking the trouble to reply to my request.

I have followed your instructions and everything is testing OK. Without that advice I would never have known what to do next!

I am very happy with NOD32 but I am finding that I have to learn the program and I am so grateful for this forum and all who post here. It's been a Godsend.

Cheers,

Elray

 

It's a pleasure, good to see you had a result. So are you going to join us here at Wilders?

All the best...

Cheers

 

Yes - I've just done that. Thanks again.

Unfortunately, every time I visit the forum I find other things I need to know about so I hope I learn quickly and don't drive everyone mad!

My pleasure, and ask as many questions as you like, better that way than sitting in the dark, only to find there is a light switch above your head that you could have turned on had you known about it…

Cheers
