Slow shutdown/logoff because of Nod32?

Have a friend who is having said problems and having never experienced them myself, I thought I'd ask those who know best

He's is pretty dissatisfied with the product for the given difficulties and ran a scan, which found nothing. Any known program conflicts? He claims to have uninstalled the product to remedy the issue, which makes it look like Nod32 is to blame, but I don't believe it.

I first thought of bootvis, but I believe that only scans startup processes. Any ideas? Things to try?

 

What was his previous Anti-virus?

Have him try repairing Winsock using the following Winsock XP Fix tool and then repair IMON

Let us know how he goes...

Cheers

 

i also got this problem
when i install nod32 on any system computer shutdown after 4 or 5 minute
i test nod on many system p3.p4

 

i also got this problem after panda antivirus
trenmicro.ksa.norton.drweb not got this issue

 

I have not found a solution to this problem you are seeing, other than it is a Windows issue, and once broken only a format and reinstall would/will fix it.

Cheers

 

My friend is reluctant to reinstall at the moment, but mind me asking how Winsock fix would repair this? I've used it many times in the past for connection issues, didn't know it did much more than that?

 

It can also repair conflict issues, as in slow start up and slow shut down after installing with ZoneAlarm.

Cheers

 

You give a lot of cheers! I'm not legal to drink!

/calls the authorities

 

I take it that there aren't any known complications with Avast? He tells me he had that installed at the time, but it was disabled.

 

Rule of thumb is, not to have 2 antivirus programs installed on the same machine.

Cheers

 

Hey,

correction, not more than one AV program, if the new AV don't let you install it only in "on-demand" scanner "mode". (like new KIS/KAV 2006, in which you can chose to install only on-demand scanner components, without on-access service module scanner, web-scanner, etc..)

best regards,

This may be of no help, but I had the same problem. It took at least 5 min. for my PC to shut down.

I went into event viewer>>applications and sure enough there was the ! inside the yellow triangle stating to the effect either a service or an application refused to give up it's rights to the registry during shutdown.

I disconnected the ethernet cable and began a process of elimination. The way I discovered it was an application is I downloaded a free program called Regmon. It shows what's happening inside the registry in real time. The culprit was Spybot's "teatimer". Even after I had manually shut it down, Regmon showed it still running in the registry. Eliminated teatimer, now shutdown is back to normal.

Also, check to see if your services are all either local or network. Anything other than these two can cause a hang in shutdown.

NOD32, Ewido, Spybot, Spywareblaster, AdAware, Kerio4

 

Have you tried running MS UPHClean ?

No, I haven't actually... looks like a neat tool, I'll recommend it to him.

 

Worth a shot. I have it running on all of my machines and haven't noticed any ill side effects. It will not fix the cause of the problem but it can help with the symptom.

Let us know how it turns out.

A link to the UPHClean readme file:

last time I saw a problem like this, I was at the point of reinstalling and I tried registrymechanic - it DID cure this symptom, but might have been because of a different cause... it's worth a go though!
