Alright, I'm running NOD - Just need to ask around a bit

Hello everyone ,

I'm currently running the NOD beta 2.5.90, and I must admit something - Seeing NOD32 on my system gives me a sense of security I never saw since 2003. This is the product I've been searching for all along, its great, and its "the" product to get!

Believe me - I tried quite a few - Norton, McAfee (bro still uses it), Trend Micro, Kaspersky, eScan, BitDefender, AVK (GDATA), and probably a few I dont remember......But over all of these I'm giving NOD32 the thumbs up.

This product is perfect for me! PERFECT! It did take me some time to configure it, but it really wasnt very difficult to get it at max. settings - No Blackspear required for me!

Anyhow, the one bug I do see is that when I configure the NOD on-demand scanner, and I enable Advanced Heuristics, I get a popup box. In this popup, the hyperlink to 'more' does not seem to be working for me......

I had a few update issues, but its fine now

Is this an issue with my PC or is it fixed in the final release? Please see image for further info

Other than that - Its working perfectly!

Thanks everyone,
Firecat

 

Actually - I have a problem - If I click on 'Help' on the On-Demand scanner - it doesnt work at all! The helpfile is not opened! wonder whats happened....is this PC specific?

I can see the help files from Control Center - But not the On Demand Scanner. Please help!

 

I have no problem with this, so I guess it's your sytem playing tricks.

 

Firecat,

I just tested this on my system - and it works fine on my system. As per your previous post, the more button is also working as it should. The Help button itself is not active while the AH alert box is up, which more or less makes sense.

Not sure what is up with your install - could some other security application be blocking the launch of the help system from those points?

Do you use Process Guard 3?

Cheers

 

@Ronjor - Yes, the nod32.chm file is present.

@Blackspear - No, I do not use PG 3.

 

You could try a FRESH download

Uninstall the current version.

Delete the Eset Folder from C Drive> Program Files

Reinstall the fresh copy that you downloaded above.

Let us know how you go...

Cheers

 

If the download was corrupted, then I dont think it would have installed in the first place....

ok then, Do you say that I should use a download manager this time?

 

No, I have just seen this method work time and time again.

Cheers

 

So should I use a download manager or not?

 

Doesn't make a difference

Cheers

 

The NOD 2.50.9 Beta is supposed to be 8.3MB but the way my download manager got it, it was only 8.1MB. Maybe my download manager isnt working fine? And maybe thats why my beta has not installed correctly?

 

No, that due to the variable meaning of M (as in MB, etc.). Depending on context it can mean 1000 (for the scientifically inclined) or 1024 (= 2^10, for the IT inclined). NOD32 2.50.9 Beta is 8,503,427 bytes = 8,304 kB = 8.109 MB using a 1024 divisor at each step. You get the implied 8.3 MB if you simply use 1000 for the second division. Your download sounds fine.

I'm also runnig NOD32 and is has never let me down. However, its detection of trojans is reputed to be rather weak. Will this change with the release of the next version? TIA.

 

The trojan detection as of right now is quite strong

2.5 also has adware/spyware/riskware detection

 

I would suggest that whomever has said this has not used Nod32 for a long time...

It's Trojan detection is very good, and improving all the time.

Cheers

 

OK I re-downloaded it - no luck

I'm having the same problems - I guess I'll have to run NOD32 2.12 instead huh?

 

Hi there Firecat,

In addition to what others already have posted:

If you want to be really sure that your downloaded file is not corrupted, compare its MD5 checksum with others.

Do you have a tool for calculating MD5 checksums?

Although I myself don't have the same Windows version as you (I still run W98SE...) and for that reason I don't have the same version of NOD32, I'll try to download the latest beta of NOD32 for you and calculate its MD5 checksum; that means for the install-file.

 

No, just don't click on that feature and leave it be until the new release (being that it is so close). See how it goes with the new version, if you still see the issue, we'll deal with it.

Cheers

 

Hi Firecat,

Here is the MD5 checksum of the installation-file of the latest NOD32-beta-version for Windows-XP:

The file <D:\Tijdelijk_2\ndntenst.exe> has the following Checksum(s)

MD5 - 24ECADF4695494836104AAA1A169375A

PS:
Please don't bother about that Dutch folder-name Tijdelijk_2 !
It's only a folder-name where I download temporarily files.

Cheers, Jan.

 

All right

Thats the only problem I saw - everything else is working like a champ

This is a program I should have purchased a long, long time ago

 

Thanks FanJ ,

my MD5 checksum matches with yours, and CRC checksum is E100B071.

Would it be possible for you to check CRC checksum as well?

Thanks,
Firecat

 

Hi Firecat,

Your MD5 checksum is the same, so that should be really enough
Don't worry my friend !

As for your CRC checksum:
That's not the CRC32 checksum, but I guess only CRC; only a guess !!
I believe I don't have a tool for that old HASH-algorithm


LOL, here are all the checksums as calculated by CryptoSuite:
in the attachment

 

Firecat,

I changed my last posting a little bit:
Instead of posting all the checksums (as calculated by CryptoSuite) in the thread itself, I attached a .txt file with them.

Anyhow, as I already posted:
your MD5 checksum is the same, so there is no issue with respect that you might have a corrupted downloaded install-file.

I have to leave you now into the very capable hands of Blackspear and the other mods with respect to your question
My only intention to get into this thread was to make sure you didn't have a corrupted install-file; that was all

Cheers, Jan.
