Why is IMON disabled?

Why is IMON disabled? [solved]

hi

today, for no reason actually, i opened nod32 from the tray and i noticed, that the IMON button was shaded grey. i had to manually start it.
i never disabled it and it was activated when i installed and configured nod32 (blackspears settings).

so i wonder, how is it possible that IMON was deactivated?

ps: im running vista

 

I have seen this happen before. You should be able to re-start it and everything should be normal. If not uninstall NOD32 through the add remove programs control. Restart your computer, then go to the programs folder on the C:\ drive. Delete the eset folder entierly. Then reinstall NOD32. This usually fixes the problem.

Let us know if it worked.

Good luck.

I run Vista as well but I have only seen this happen under XP.

 

Maybe you reset Winsock?

 

It could be nothing or it could be signs that you have a trojan on your machine that disabled NOD. I would uninstall NOD and reinstall and run all the scans you have just to be safe.

 

Same here, but not for a couple of years.

Mine restarted and hasn't been seen since.

Cheers

 

I always check my NOD settings when I see these posts. But I've always been ok.

 

Shortly after I noticed my IMON disabled itself I was attacked by some vundo variant. So i wouldn't take this lightly.

 

me too

 

Hi, I was actually going to ask this question.

I've now in my third year with NOD32 and have had two instances of Imon being disabled in the recent past. Once about 6 weeks ago and again just last week. I know I did not disable Imon on either occasion and I have had no evidence of trojan activity (all scans clear) but it did unsettle me.

The mention of repairing Winsock may explain the last instance because I did do a repair but I am wondering if installing BOClean also had some significance?

I downloaded BOClean and it has not affected Nod32.

oh yes you're right. im so stupid. i did test that tcpip patch to increase the amount of connections allowed per second.
that must have reset it.
