NOD32 Giving Error

WTF?? First, I have no idea where this program came from. I've not installed anything on my Vista system recently, yet I'm getting an error message from IE7 that NOD32 needs an update. Why do I have this program? I already have McAfee that I'm perfectly happy with. The last thing that was installed is Cisco's Clean Access Agent that's used to connect to Johns Hopkins' network (installed by one of the techs there). Could that be why NOD32 is installed? Thanks for any insight. - Eddie -

 

IE7 has nothing to do with NOD32, sounds more like you have been infected with something that's trying to trick you into downloading something else.

 

We've seen a bunch of such reports even from people who have never had NOD32 installed. All seem that Microsoft has incorrectly blamed ESET instead of McAfee for this issue.

 

Is it just a false message from the Security Centre or is NOD32 actually installed in any way?

 

Thanks for all the responses!

Seems M$ did its usual thorough job , but they fixed whatever was wrong. The message disappeared on the last Windows Update.

Thanks again!
