Scan issue

Every time I try to scan my computer, no matter which "state" it is(in-depth scan, smart scan, etc), it stops and ends in boot sector. Only five object has been scanned. I looked up what items would be scanned in the scan, and everything was checked. What's wrong? Should I just reinstall Nod32? It will probably fix the issue, I suppose.

My build is:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Eset Nod32 5.2.9.12
Scan module 1367

 

This is really weird. If you run "ecls.exe c:\" from the ESET install folder, does the scan run fine? If you enable logging of all scanned files in the appropriate on-demand scanner profile setup, what are those 5 objects that are scanned?

 

I get an error opening Disk A and Disk D.

My memory is - ok. So is "Active Boot Sector" and "Main Boot Sector". Don't know how to translate the two latter, since I don't have the English version of Nod32. Boot sector to disk C is - ok. But it seems something is messed up in boot sector, which makes the scan to end, and can't finish. I tried to only scan Disk C (C:\), but the same happened again, it ended after scanning five files.

When I run ecls.exe, a black window appear, but it automatically closes. Sometimes if I spam click the .exe file, the window will be visible for approximately 3 seconds before it closes, however, something like "The command line argument is not specified" is written in the command line.

 

Is it possible that you have set c:\* in exclusions list?
If you have whole disks excluded from scanning, only boot sector gets scanned. A: and D: are probably floppy disk and CD/DVD drive letters. If there is no media inserted, NOD shows error opening drive...

 

I haven't done that. However, when I look through the exclusion list, it appear I have set it to exclude it from scanning.. Kinda weird since I only exclude trusted applications and files, and not c:\*. And trust me, it's a long time since I've excluded a file or folder, and not long ago, I did a successful scan..

Anyway, thank you for your help. I should've checked my exclusion list in the first place. Again, thank you!

 

You're welcome!
