    Do you create a mirror on that computer? If so, does deleting the content of the mirror folder make a difference? Is the update server set to "Choose automatically"?

    Yes set to create mirror.
    I just deleted the contents of the mirror folder and running update now.
    Yes set to Choose automatically.
    I did note that in mirror section in files available versions it list only ESET Mail Security (english, 32bit) and 64bit only.

    On my server x64 it list ESET NOD32 Antivirus std and business editions 32bit and 64bit as will as ESET Mail Security 32bit and 64bit.

    Ok deleting the contents of mirror didnt help.
    Deleted content of Updfiles and mirror didnt help.

    Hi,
    just to let you know what I did to fix / get around this problem.
    I uninstall Nod32 Ver 4.2 then rebooted and installed Nod32 Ver 4.0 and problem fixed.
    I can get the mirror in Nod32 Ver 4.0 to work correctly.
    I was told by support that the mirror Nod32 Ver 4.2 don't work any more and I would have to use admin server or something which I think is bull ****.
    Why change something that work correctly and make you load more software to do a job.

    I haven't tried to upgrade from Nod32 Ver 4.0 to Nod32 Ver 4.2 to see if the mirror works after upgrade.( Going to leave it alone for now as its working. )
    Note: my 2003 server is 64 bit and upgrade from Nod32 Ver 4.0 to 4.2 and mirror works correctly, May be its a 32bit thing.
