    Just registered here to give some feedback about this beta. I just installed it on Windows Vista Ultimate Dutch, and after ~1 minute the pc locks up. Ctrl Alt Del doesnt work. Nothing works anymore. I can only reboot and then after 1 minute the same is happening. I removed the 3 drivers from ESET in C:\windows\system32\drivers + the install directory, and then Windows works again. I have no idea why, and I would really like to install ESS, because a good firewall can come in handy with Windows Vista.
    Anyone else having the same problems? And maybe found a solution?
    Thanks.

    I get a blue screen every time I install ESS on my Vista system. I even tried uninstalling some other security programs and turning off User Access Control. Nothing seems to work. Sorry I can't be of help.

    Actually, informing them about this could be very helpful. The beta test is not about making everything run without problems. It's purpose is to get as miuch information as possible about the current problems.

    I don't know what I did wrong, but after uninstalling NOD32 (latest non-beta version) and then installing ESS Beta 1, my Outlook 2003 won't send/receive any emails.

    If you want help , you'd better post information to work with ... :thumb:

    And to start-up , make sure your firewall is in automatic mode so that it automatically allows Outlook.exe access . Otherwise , check your rules .

    I tried to install the Beta under Vista and even after uninstalling my current version of NOD32, the installer wont install because it thinks that there is a version of NOD32 on my system allready.

    Could be a Vista issue but the funny thing is that i have had more prbobelms with software that wont install under Vista rather then problems with the software once it was installed.

    As I dont "tweak' my copy of Vista and my system is a fairly common one, it is very frustrating to have problems like this, even with Beta software.

    If I didnt really like NOD32 (I own 2 copies on my dual boot computer), I would just look for AV/Firewall software somewhere else.

    You know the AV component is better, but 2.7 is SO good!

    Same problem with XP PRO.

    1 - Remove NOD32 2.7
    2 - Open RegEdit, find all keys with "nod32" and remove it
    3 - Try to install ESS

    I reinstalled it 2 days ago and it has worked like a charm.:) Being the jerk I am, I think I owe Marcos an apology.. :( I am liking this suite more and more and as I said, I am having no issues.:) Even running sandboxie with it.

    I had the same thing happen with XP Home. I disconnected the network cable and it installed correctly.

    Try running CCleaner to clean registry and uninstall NOD32 entries.
    Try running MyUninstaller to uninstall NOD32 entries.
    I also run my fave, Registry Mechanic (payware), every couple weeks.

    That's just weird.

    After few days of testing, I like it so far, and I have asked some of my friends
    to beta test this with their system as well. I also encourage them to send bug
    reports or feature request if they find it necessary...

    Nod32 A/V works against spyware too.

    I got the idea from a couple other people that it happened to.
