Imon quits often

Hello to all. I am new to your forum and find it very interesting.

I Have some questions and hope they should not be addressed elsewhere!

I have nod 32 installed and sometimes latelly the imon is not working but requires to strart it manually. Is this normal;

The second issue is about LOREXP & BACKDOOR.IRCCONT. These two are found from an antispyware programme (scan spyware) in the registry. No other antispyware programme I have tried detects them nor does nod32. I was wondering if they are false positives.

I have win xp home sp2 (all recent updates installed) and a firewall....

 

I don't want to hijack this thread but I have noticed IMON being turned off. Are there any known conflicts with other security apps?

 

IMON conflits with ZoneAlarm Security Suite if I remember rightly.

 

So why would someone use a realtime AV such as NOD32 with another realtime AV such as ZA SS. If I were to use NOD32 as my AV, than I would get a pure firewall such as ZA Pro 6 not the Security Suite. If I were to use the Security Suite, well than again dont use NOD32.

I am using ZA Pro 6 with NOD and have never had any issues.

 

if you have PestPatrol that could be the problem also

 

Thank you all for your answers.

I have zone alarm pro 6 as I have pestpatrol installed. What is your suggestion;

Is this that causes the problem;

 

For some reason there is a lengthy delay in the 'reply' function here, so I was rather hoping someone could name a few 'suspects' without my going into a lot of detail!

I'm using the free ZA firewall, The Cleaner and a thing called Startup Monitor. I have AdAware Plus and Spybot (but without AdWatch or TeaTimer enabled) plus SpySweeper, kept as an 'on demand' scanner due to limited resources.

This is a very old, underpowered 98 computer, but I don't think resources (or the lack thereof) are involved, because NOD has worked without problems for over a year. It's difficult to date the IMON 'problem' but I think it goes back at least six or eight weeks, if not longer.

 

I want to add that some times Imon stops working in spite of the fact that it does not quit. I mean that it does not check anything!

I do not know why this is happening. If I make a restart it is fixed. This is not very practical though....
