    All of the sudden Nod is no longer actively scanning. It has scanned 30 files since boot. I have re booted twice and it is still dead in the water. I have set up NOD correctly and have rechecked it twice. I have not gone to the beta either. Same old beating heart version I love to watch.

    I use Win98SE and use Nod version 1.45, Envir. build 1.047, Base model build 2980.

    Thanks.

    did you make any changes to the setup on AMON? that would be my only guess.. or some other new piece of software is interfering with AMON.

    I redid the set up of Nod twice. Nothing.

    To my knowledge I have not installed any program that would disable NOD without me knowing it.
    Thanks.

    zappa,

    It's fairly impossible to find the culprit from a distance. I would recommend uninstalling NOD32 and re-installing after doing so - plus update the database.

    Keep us posted!

    regards,

    paul

    OK, did the uninstall, reboot and install, reboot. Still no active scanning. The heart is beating but it does not show it is scanning any files.

    I installed some encryption programs but those should not have an effect should they?

    Not sure what to do next....
    Thanks.

    can you check your amon settings? esp. which filetypes are (supposed to be) scanned?

    Compare your amon settings with the one's on this page.

    My settings were the same as link except I had a deep scan on one item instead of standard.

    Still no active scanning, dead in the water.

    Actually, as of now it has scanned 27 files. Making progress.

    Hi zappa,

    in your case I'd suggest you to unistall the crrent NOD version and try the Beta5. (Just in your case, because in a normal case the Beta5 can be reinstalled over the current version).

    Let's see what happens.

    Rgds, :)

    Jan, I read your mind. Did just that and completed the task before coming online here.

    One problem as the new install is not taking my previous password and/or user ID. When I downloaded 2B5 from Eset I was not asked to enter a password or user ID as stated in the online instructions. Thus, I cannot update.

    I know it is something easy....enlighten me please.

    Also, I noticed the new POP3scanner.exe was a zero bite file, should I replace it with previous pop3scanner.exe? I can't get to my email as all ports remain the same from previous settings. I applied the "fix" in tools too.

    Thanks, zapper

    Now I had to uninstall 2B5 as I am unable to get to my email or update. I followed the instructions for installation, Perhaps the user/password issue is preventing the conection to the email server.

    Please respond as to the user/password issue above.
    thanks

    Never mind. I uninstalled 2B5 and went through a crash, Kernel errors and more. Had to go to emergency disk procedures and finally reverted to saved registry I had backed up last week.

    Then reinstalled NOD32 and bingo NOD32 is back to active scanning like nothing ever happened. I have had enough excitement for a while. Time consuming pain in the rear headache it was.

    I am back to happy.
    happily, zappa

    I will wait for the final version of NOD V2.
