NOD32: Slow XP shutdown issue continues (May '07)

Yes, I have read thru other threads re this issue and its possible links to IMON, so here's a heads-up that it still seems to exist:

> NOD32 2.70.32
> Windows XP SP1
> Win XP firewall
> No previous malware or virus infection
> NAV2003 previous AV - uninstalled completely

> Shutdown pre NOD: 5-7 secs
> Shutdown post NOD: circa 20 secs

What new do we know re this?

 

Hi !

Is it possible to be that

I recommend you do the following:

1) Download Symantec Norton removal tool here

2) Download the latest version of NOD32
Trial version or
Full paid version

3) Download WinsockXPfix

4) Goto Control Panel-> Add/Remove programs and Uninstall NOD32

5) Reboot

6) Goto C:\Program files and manually delete the folder ESET

7) Run the Norton removal tool to ensure all tracks of Norton have been removed.Reboot if necessary!

8 ) Run the WinsockXPfix tool . It will repair your Winsock , if it is possible corrupted . Reboot if necessary!

9) Run Windows Disk Clean-up to eliminate all unnecessary temporary files . Open Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Clean up . Choose your main drive . Check everything from the list and press OK . Wait .

10) Install NOD32 from the file you just downloaded in step 1
Use Typical settings

11) Make sure you have stable i-net connection and NOD32 (nod32krn.exe) is allowed to go through your firewall and Update NOD32


I also strongly recommend you upgrade to XP Service Pack 2 via Windows Update
