    I recently reformatted my PC and got BSOD (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) during restart/shut down after Windows Update. According to the Minidump, the cause of this was the driver eamonm.sys (ESET NOD32 Antivirus).

    The 2nd time, I got another BSOD... it occured during installation restart/shutdown process (after Windows Update for Service Pack 1). Posted the minidump on the tech forum and said it might have a connection to NOD32.

    Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!

    What is your installed build ? What other security software do you have installed, if any | your Windows Operating System Build is ? |

    You may manually uninstall you current build. If you do so, you may export your current settings and re-import them later.

    Running older builds regardless of O/S is the primary cause of the eamon.sys issue which is remedied in the current build.

    It's the Windows Vista Home edition.

    The only other security software I have on is Malwarebytes' Anti-malware 1.46

    ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4.2.58.3 is what I have installed.

    You indicated you had posted your minidump elsewhere, please post it here for analysis by ESET I strongly suspect it is another issue as you have recently re-installed your system.

    Assuming the bitmap file points to eamon.sys being the primary issue, please post it for us to peruse.

    You may contact ESET, ask a Tech Representative to help you generate a new minidump file.

    Have you configured NOD32 to notifying me about Windows updates
    If so, disable this feature.

    Most welcome for the help, although last time I looked, there was no 4.2.62.0 build ? Did you download this build from the ESET Download Center

    If this is the case, I have requested a copy for evaluation purposes. If the BSOD issue was remedied with this build this is a result you would have wanted.

    Hello,

    A recent update of the virus signature database to 5338 resolved a similar issue with Microsoft Windows 7, so the fix included in it may work for Windows Vista as well. This update is automatically downloaded by ESET's software, so there is nothing you need to do to obtain the fix.

    Regards,

    Hello,

    Update 5338 did not resolve the issue for me on Windows Vista SP2 (32-bit) with ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4.2.58.3 as I still got the BSOD. I had to do a system restore and then install the update again with ESET disabled. Do you know if today's updates (August 10 patch Tuesday) with ESET enabled are going to result in a stop error (any reports of this happening)?

    Thanks,

    Mark

    Those having problems with BSOD after Windows update, please post here the information about installed modules (Help -> About). If possible, compress the memory dump created during BSOD, upload it somewhere and PM me the link. Some people confirmed that installing the not-yet-released version 4.2.6x eventually resolved the problem even though it was supposed to have been fixed with the real-time protection module build 1004.

    Wasn't it supposed to be fixed with virus signature database update 5338?

    Look in the C:\Windows\Minidump folder for a Minidump (*.dmp) file with the same date as the crash.

    However, for some reason I do not have one for Tuesday's crash. Not sure why.

    I had this problem on all of my Vista SP2 computers (stupid me for not testing the windows updates first).

    I did figure out a fix for it.

    Simply boot with a Vista or XP DVD, get into Command Prompt, delete the eamonm.sys file from C:\windows\system32\drivers and reboot. This will break ESET, but the updates will finish without a problem.

    Shame on Eset for having these problems, by the way.

    Hello,

    Instead of deleting eamonm.sys and breaking ESET, you can just temporarily disable ESET in Settings before installing windows updates. Have you tried the new build with any windows updates yet (on Vista SP2)?

    Regards,

    Mark

    I had a Vista SP2 machine break at around 1:00 p.m. today, Nod32 was up to date, but I'm not sure what build it was.

    The problem I had was that the windows updates were pushed through WSUS to all of my Vista SP2 machines that were in use (all the principles, secrataries and administrative personel... Good thing school's not in session yet) so I could not disable Eset (since the windows update had already been applied).

    In my previous post I presented a fix for windows updates that have already been applied and computers that are in an endless "update loop". I didn't find a solution like this on the net (although there may be one), so I thought I would let people know.

    Thanks for the suggestion to disable Nod32, but I have a rather large network of Vista Sp2 machines that get updated at random times (especially in the summer), so disabling Nod32 is not feasible.

    Regards.

    P.S. Sorry if I sound standoffish, that's not my intention. :) I always enjoy discussion, but sometimes have a hard time sounding polite (even though I mean well).

    -- Post Edit --

    I was running version 5375 of the virus signature database and Nod32 version 4.2.58.3. After upgrading my Nod32 clients to v. 4.2.61.12, I now longer had the BSOD problem

    Hi-- Just reposting here from another thread:

    Just wanted to post that I've also run into the same situation and discovered that disabling Nod32 before install and reboot of Windows Vista 32 updates avoids the aemonm.sys BSOD error.

    Because of instabilities in my system a month ago, I reinstalled VISTA using the restore feature on my Asus, installing NOD32 v 4.2 as soon as I had a clean install. Much to my chagrin, much of my re-installation experience involved MANY BSODs as a result of Nod32, and it wasn't until I reinstalled the 2nd time that I realized that it was a result of the AV software.

    If I forget to turn off Nod32 before an update installation, I always get a BSOD.

    I've been a subscriber to Nod32 for 4 years now, and have had all of my clients move to Eset's products for their security needs. This is the absolute first time I've ever seen a defect in anything Eset's done and I hope there will be a prompt fix for this issue.

    My vitals:


    OS: Windows Vista 32bit. Fully updated
    Eset Product: Eset Nod32 Antivirus version 4.2.58.3
    Virus signature database: 5353 (20100809)
    Update module: 1031 (20091029)
    Antivirus and antispyware scanner module: 1284 (20100729 )
    Advanced heuristics module: 1110 ( 20100808 )
    Archive support module: 1119 ( 20100806 )
    Cleaner module: 1048 ( 20091123 )
    Anti-Stealth support module: 1019 ( 20100525 )
    SysInspector module: 1216 ( 20100517 )
    Self-defense support module : 1016 ( 20100404 )
    Real-time file system protection module: 1004 ( 20100727 )
