(possible) bug reports v2.0 Beta1

I agree with Marti. I was quite confused when I tried updating and saw a flash and the message "waiting". Waiting for what? So I hit the update button again and this time after the flash, I saw "downloading" for a second or two and then it switched back to "waiting". Huh? Did it download the new definitions or what? (I figured we should be getting new definitions since there has been discussion on DSLR about a new one that other av have already included and I don't see in the 12/17 NOD def). Finally, I thought to go look in the logs where I was told it was up to date.

The current version of NOD has a screen that pops up after you try to manually update, and there is no update available, that says "your definitions are up to date". The beta version needs this popup screen.

 

hey don't blame Nod when you went "silent" Look in the setup - silent option will supress all information that doesn't need user action - I love it

Oh! OK. I didn't really understand what that meant "go silent". I checked it because Marti showed it checked in her screenshots and she was helping those of us with W98x systems so that we could resolve the terrible resource problem. If I uncheck the "silent" mode, is that going to affect resources

 

Sorry Mele, was not trying to confuse you. The screen shot was to illustrate the "windows graphics off" mode only.

I too was confused about "silent mode," as you can see by my posts in this thread.

 

I'm assuming it is "silent mode", which I still had checked when I just ran a full on demand scan, that caused NOD to stop everytime it found an archived zip file with a virus, but not popup a notification to me asking what I wanted it to do. I had it minimized so the only way I could tell that I needed to bring up the screen was because I could no longer hear the CPU working! It would have sat there forever, stuck on that detection, otherwise! So, I'm unchecking "silent mode".

 

Seems to me that there are definitly problems with win98. Here on win2k silent works like a charm

Scanning too

Technodrome, thanks for the response. For some odd reason nothing seems to work. It seems to be looking for ip 127.0.0.1 (with adsubtract and proxomitron open) or 66.111.104.94.(with them closed) Even when I close adsubtract and proxomitron and change my settings in IE, I still can't connect to the internet. I guess I'll have to wait for the real deal. Thanks passintime

 

Hey Passintime, 127.0.0.1 also called "localhost" is the internal address that Nod32 uses for routing of Email, so emails are forced through Nod32 for virus checking...

Hope this helps...

Cheers

 

Ok, this isn't a bug but something strange. I use a batch file to open all my security programs at once. Unless I am on-line must of these programs are off unless doing an on demand scan. This batch file worked fine with NOD32 but with NOD32 2.0 Beta it won't. I get the following error (see attached: error message, batch file content, and working icon properties). I've tried retyping the file path and even copying it from the working desktop icon. Despite the file path and file name being right it just won't start from the batch file.

I know Sygate for instance required an additional command -start at the end to work. Is there some trick like this for the new beta?

Otherwise, no problems with Wk2 Sp3, Sygate Pro 5, IE 6, and Netcaptor.

Really like the all in one interface

 

Sorry luthorcrow, but no idea. The path seems fine to me, but obviously something is missing.

Cheers.

PS: WOW man, that sure is some colour scheme mate. I thought a Vampire had crapped itself upon scrolling to the bottom, LOL.

I almost had to put my "sunnies" on. Heh!

 

I think the email scanner (beta) either has a SERIOUS problem or I am doing something wrong...

I noticed this before, but I did not save the emails..

When I get infected email, Outlook Express will not open up the emails, it simply won't even open up..

If it can't open up, then I cannot delete the emails, clean the virus, etc..

I have to disconnect IMON to get to the email, but then if I do that, then I am running OE with no protection.. That's not good..

Before I disconnect IMON, I will wait to see if anyone knows about this..
I am posting a screenshot..

Thanks
Shooter

 

The regular version of NOD32 does not have any conflict with the MailSafe email protection of the latest version of Zone Alarm, but I am wondering, does the beta have a conflict? I disabled IMON to let an infected email in the inbox, (otherwise it was blcoking my other emails.. When I did that, ZAPRO quaranteed the attachment.. With the regular NOD32 version, ZAPRO wouldn't even kick in..The POP3 MAil scanner of NOD32 took care of everything...

 

I must say I don't have big problems with this Beta version. E-mail is scanned very good and no problems with Becky (the problem was me, doing something wrong )
I only have this problem downloading files with Opera 6.05, the files are not being scanned with this Beta-version. IE works great with this version. I hope this problem will be solved with the final release.

 

Gi'day All,

I've found a minor problem with NOD32 2.0 Beta.

I've been testing email security with http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest and have struck a problem with IMON and Malformed File Extension Vulnerability test. My email client is The Bat! and when I try to download this particular email, TB! locks up. If I disable IMON, TB! downloads email no problem. I can download all other emails no problem regardless of IMON status.

I'm using WinXP pro, outpost pro firewall and The Bat email client.

I'm a new NOD32 user and am very pleased with how the new version is shaping up. Looks like I made right choice!

 

I have the same similar problem you have, except I have narrowed it down to two types of emails I recieve..

1. Some kind of Virus...

2. Websites included with email...

I can forward the email with a website to a Nod tech support person, but I will wait until they read this.. then act upon it

I have Outlook Express, Service Pack 1, win XP Home, all the latest patches ...

This is a very serious problem fro me.. I have eliminated ZAPRO 3.5169 as being the cause of my problem.. I hope this gets fixed when they release the final version of Nod32 ver 2. The only way I can get me email is to shut IMON down, which defeats the purpose of having IMON..

 

I wish they hadn't gone on vacation before releasing the eagerly awaited beta..

another bug, which I think was reported before. Some web sites seems to load more slowly..

Much more slowly...

 

Right clicking on an entry in the On Demand Scanner logs works properly if the file is clean or if the file is an eicar test file. However, if the file contains an actual virus, NOD32 Control Center hangs. The only way out is to use c/a/d which closes NOD32. So, if you want information on the flagged items, it is not accessible. If you want to delete the viruses you have to run the on demand scanner again choosing clean. This takes a long time as NOD32 is very SLOW in scanning using the beta version. Takes TWICE as long as it did with the current version.

I should add this:
Dell Pentium III 450MHz
W98SE
224 MB RAM
Proxomitron 4.4, Desksweeper, Cookie Crusher 2.6 running during scan

 

That >>Can't find D:\Program<< looks supspiciously like your batch file is having problems with the long file name including spaces. Try it with the DOS file name (something similar to D:\Progra~1).

 

Hi folks,

thanks for notifying us about problems with Imon and Pocomail.
Our engineers will take a look into the problem. You will be informed
about their findings on this forum as soon as they declare.

Just a suggestion: Rather than all possible bug reports for the Beta going to this one topic, why not start another forum Nod32v2beta along side the NOD32 forum? Then the bug reports could be grouped better under their specific topics and you wouldn't need to scroll through all the posts for help with your specific problem. The current NOD32 forum (where this topic is) would be for the currently released version and the new forum for the v2.0beta. Thoughts?

 

Hallo @all,

I have problems running nod32 2.0 beta and tauscan 1.6 on my system.

If tauscan is checking CAB-archives a Runtime Error occures, after uninstalling nod32 2.0 beta, tauscan works without problems.

Next problem is that nod32 Scanner list all existing JAR-Files on my System like this: CRC-checksum is incorrect, file possible damaged
I can´t believe this.

Next problem IMON:
The default setting ist Port 110. OK
If I add Ports in this form:
110, 995, ...
IMON ignore all added Ports after 110

Last problem is a scheduler problem. If I prepare the scheduler to start nod32 Scanner at defined time. Nod32 Scanner starts but no scaning of C: instead he is telling me C: is invalid.


Some Problems, but hey, it is just a beta.

So long

PS. System Info: P III 500 MHz, 384 MB RAM, Win2k SP 3, Tauscan, Outpost, T-DSL Speedmanager running at Startup

 

The right click scanning dowsn't allow me to clean even the eicar virus.. It just doesn't work..

Strangely enough, even when set to scan all files, the on demand scanner is just as fast as ever..

WinXP Home, Athlon , 512 ram,

 

You can't "clean" the eicar test file 'cause it's just a test file. If you cleaned it, there would be nothing left.

I'm not sure about NOD because I have not needed to use the "clean" function, but here's the deal with other av apps I have used. Let's say you get a doc file or something similar that is infected with a virus. Then you would use the "clean" function in an attempt to remove the offending code and leave you with the original file intact so it could be used. Make sense now?

Yup.. Sorry.. I confused "Clean" and "Delete"...
