NOD32 Version 2 Breaks cygwin xfree86

Hi folks,

After upgrading from NOD32 v1 to v2, I discovered there is some kind of conflict that was not there before with the cygwin implementation of XFree86. Whenever I try to run the X environment with NOD32 v2 installed it fails with signal 11. I also verified that this behavior goes away if I uninstall NOD32 v2.

Here is some additional information from cygwin (xinit.exe.stackdump):

Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=01682E25
eax=00000009 ebx=0000000C ecx=00000002 edx=0022FA34 esi=016B3E28 edi=1004E2ED
ebp=00000009 esp=0022F97C program=c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xinit.exe

Stack trace:
Frame Function Args

corrupted stack)

Also, here is my system information from NOD32:

There was also a brief mention that some anti-virus software (e.g., McAffee) does not behave well with cygwin. Their FAQ is located at http://cygwin.com/faq.html (see http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC62 for the anti-virus reference).

 

bump for the cause

 

Hey dbergst,

we'll check that,

Thanks,

Jan,

Thanks, that would be greatly appreciated.

PS - I would like to compliment the NOD32 development team for its efforts to create such a fine product. Your responsiveness to users that post here on Wilders Security Forums is commendable. I truly wish more software companies would work this way. I recently came on board as a licensed user while version 1 was the official release, and am very happy with the enhanced interface and features in version 2.

 

Jan - have you heard back from the NOD32 developers on this issue?

 

Hi,

>Jan - have you heard back from the NOD32 developers on this issue?

Well, they are busy also with other issues:

- does any body else have this problem?

- is anybody running cygwin xfree86 fine with NOD?

Thanks,

jan

 

I just received an auto-update to NOD32 and the problem with cygwin xfree86 appears to be resolved. I now have an active X-Windows session and the session manager loaded without issues. FYI, here is my current NOD32 version info:

Here is what I have installed in cygwin (as indicated earlier the X-Windows programs could not be run until this updated version of NOD32 was installed or if NOD32 was uninstalled):
