My NOD32 updated automatically !!

While I was doing some work here on my PC, NOD32 updated itself.

I didn't click or do anything first at all - just the normal scheduled update tasks are active.

A balloon on the NOD32 tray icon told me that NOD32 had updated successfully.

This is quite normal.

Cheers

 

LOL, no, no, no, not normal....

Please try the following:

1. Download a fresh copy of NOD32 to your desktop.

2. Uninstall your current version of NOD32 through the Windows Control Panel> Add or Remove Programs.

3. Remove the Eset folder from C Drive> Program Files

4. Install the fresh copy of NOD32 that you downloaded above using "Typical" settings when asked.

5. Check your settings against those found in the following Nod32 Tutorial: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=37509

6. Run a scan by clicking on the NOD32 Control Centre> NOD32> Run NOD32> Scan and Clean.

 

This forum is always entertaining

 

Ok Blackspear, I think I got that right -

Next I clicked on update 57,000,000 times even though I had already got the most recent updates (just to let the servers know I was ready for another one). All those clicks wouldn't add any extra load would they?

Cheers

 

Excellent

Please tell me you installed and left on your system both AVG and Norton before you installed NOD32, it makes it work better

No, that’s really good, the servers need that or they would rust

 

Man, and to think....I only clicked update 5 to 6 HUNDRED times trying to get the real thing!!!! And never did!!! Man, I'm such a slacker.....

 

Those and several others. It's seemed such a waste to leave my PC resting for even a millisecond.
Also I was thinking of setting resident.bat to load at startup just to be sure though

Oh good - I'm glad it was helpful then

Cheers

 

I really think NOD32 is not going to do it for you, I would recommend Poopscan or Diddlyscan.

Further information on Poopscan can be found in posts 31 onwards here

Hope this helps

 

Poopscan must be getting thinner on the ground now. Apart from references here at Wilders, the only other independant mention is in a newspaper - The Age, October 4 2002 (towards the bottom)

I'm not sure, but I get the impression using poopscan could ultimately be very expensive - is there a trial version and do you have a working link for it?

edit: Don't worry, I found the source code now

On-Demand PoopScan

Code:

@echo off
echo Poopscan Threat Lister
echo Scan Listing Ready
pause
tree /a /f
echo Any infected files have been listed
echo Please review the log carefully
pause

Real-Time DiddlyScan

Code:

@echo off
echo DiddlyScan Threat Lister
echo Real Time Scan Listing
tree /a /f
echo Any infected files have been listed
echo Please review the log carefully
diddlyscan.bat

It's very fast - lists everything really quickly

Cheers

 

Erm, aren't AVs suppose to update itself automatically

 

No, generally you should use brute force. you need a hammer to perform this very dangerous task.

 

what a crappy thread... Has nothing to do with support. People are having problems with the updating of NOD32, that's a fact. Even the legal licensed users.

 

No trouble here.

 

I just think that it is really cool that your NOD32 updated itself automatically! I noticed that mine also updated by itself automatically today !!! This is just awsome!!! I really hope that they include this feature in v3 !

 

No, version 3 will only include code that has to be manually installed

 

yes...manually compiled using the command-prompt like in Linux.

 

LMAO, how did you know

 

Didn't you hear, he has a cristal ball ?

 

I have a glass bowl is that the same thing?

 

I don't know Pykko should know

BTW- I now update fine , the process is back to normal

 

I have a toilet bowl. A crystal glass toilet bowl. One of the worst ideas ever.

 

yes...update process is quite fine..updated to 1.1681 very fast.

 

ROFLMGO
You mean when you looked in it to see what was coming, all you could see was the job you'd already done?

Thanks Blackspear for all you help - just so you know I've got diddlyscan running automatically every startup so I can see straight away if poopscan missed anything or not.

Merry Christmas

 

I agree. This is ridiculous.....I'm STILL stuck on 1.1677 (20060724). Trial or registered, it doesn't matter.....this is now a 3 day old problem that needs to be corrected A.S.A.P!!!
