    I just recently upgraded to Nod32 AntiVirus 3.0 Home Ediition.On my desktop when I go to "Start" then to "Internet Explorer" my computer crashes.It doesnt happen everytime I go to IE ,it is random.I see a blue screen and info before it crashes but i can't see what it says,it restarts to quick.Maybe I have to change something under "Web Access Protection" in the setup ? I never had this problem before installing Nod32,I used a older version of Nod32 before this,so if anyone can help it would be appreciated.

    If you rightclick "My Computer" and select "properties", then select the "Advanced" tab and click the Settings button under "Startup and Recovery" and uncheck "Automatically restart". Then you should be able to read what the bluescreen says. That might be helpful to figure out what is causing the computer crash.

    If it only happen when you start Internet Explorer you could try to run IE without the add-ons or disable the IE add-ons to see if the problem goes away. Can also check what add-ons that is enabled to make sure there is no one left from any previous antivirus software like nod32 2.7 or any other software. A uninstall of nod32 and a cleanup (registry, files etc) and the reinstall nod32 might be worth a try.

    I read several recommendations to uninstall 2.x before installing 3.x and might be a good idea. I never tried a upgrade from 2.7 to 3.0 since i uninstalled 2.7 first that worked fine for me.
