Slow shutdown with XP fixed?

Was just wanting to know if the slow shutdown
problem with Windows XP has been fixed in version 2
of NOD32.

I have been running NOD for almost a year now, and
have been quite pleased. The one thing I did not like
was having to do the registry hack to fix the shutdown
problem.I have been doing quite alot of trolling on this
forum looking at other AV programs, and have come
to the conclusion that I will most likley stay with NOD
if the shutdown problem was fixed in version 2.

I am going to be reformatting and reinstalling NOD,
this is why I am asking.

 

All I can tell you is, I have no problems with booting/restarting/shutdown with NOD installed

 

if you have boot sector checks on shutdown, and have a LOT of drives, or lots of virtual drives, the delay can be noticable - I'd turn the boot sector on shutdown checks OFF and see if that removes the delay... I noticed it when I had a lot of CD images mounted with several virtual drive utilities... I remove the setting but left "on access" checks in place, and my delay disappeared...

 

Actually I had also a very slow shutdown too...
But the reason why it was so slow is becuse NOD32 scanned the floppy which i don't have. So just uncheck the Floppy/Diskette scan and it should shutdown smooth if that's the issue you have

OS: Windows XP sp2

 

good point - I forgot about that one - I also had that with one of my desktop machines sans floppy drive - well remembered jg88swe!

 

Thanks for all the tips everyone.

When I reinstall, if I have a shutdown
problem, I will check these settings!
Also, were is the scan floppy setting?

 

It's in the AMON settings.
I always disable that thing - Which is probably why I've never had a slowdown or the likes. I dont use floppies anyway

 

On demand scanner/setup tab.

 

OH I all most forgot uncheck boot sectors or take it the floppy off the Scanning Targets tab

 

Thanks everyone.

I have one other question, a little
off topic.
When I renew my subscription, will
I have the option to download the
full version of NOD again?

 

Yes as long as your license is valid, you can download new versions when they are released
