    I have NOD32 V2 under WinXP.
    When attempting to run scans available under NOD32 either by using Run NOD32 or Local options scan activates for about 5-10 seconds, allows me to view scan screen then auto shuts down the screen. NOD32 stays active despite this "glitch".

    Is this normal?

    Am I/have I done something wrong?

    No, this is not normal. Run NOD32 in Safe mode.

    Hi IanW,
    please restart Windows in Safe mode, run NOD32 scanner with the /ah parameter so that advanced heuristics is used for scanning. If NOD32 finds a probably unknown Newheur_PE virus, please rename the file's extension and send the file to samples@nod32.com for analysis.

    Hi,
    No, you need to write /ah switch in order to enable AH in Scanner each time that you start this.
    ESET recommend use the /ah switch only if you feel that you're infected and no virus is detected in a normal scanner, however I run a scan with ah weekly, it's a personal option.
