Vista update message

I am continually getting a message to ask if I want to update Nod32 to be compatible with Vista, with a selection of three items to choose from. I don't have Vista and have no intention of using Vista.

Is there a way that I can disable this message permanently? It is appearing many times each day and is becoming a nuisance.

Thanks.

 

What and where do you read this message ?

Can you please goto Control Center->NOD32 System Tools->Information , click Copy to clipboard and paste the information as a reply .

 

This is the info you asked for: (Next time the message comes up, I can type out what it says and post that too)

It is really not necessary . This showed you use rather old version of NOD32.

May be you haven't heard the news that ESET have new versions and as a part of your license you receive it for free . The version is 2.7 . In includes Vista support (for people who use Vista) as well as other improvements (better cleaning and new Anti-Stealth technology to find and successfully eliminate active rootkits) . More about v 2.7 here

If your license is active you should upgrade and allow it upgrade to use the new versions .

 

Recently I did allow an upgrade and had huge problems with the laptop. The computer would not allow me to do anything. If I clicked on a link on a website it would just hang and when I checked the CPU usage it was fluctuating in the 90 to 100% area constantly.
I could not shut it down the normal way and had to resort to switching off. After restarting it was the same, so I did a system restore and have had not had the same problem since then.
I am reluctant to allow an upgrade again after this experience. I hope you have some good advice for me.
Thanks.

 

This is not possible with NOD32 2.7

Then do the following :
1. Download a fresh copy of NOD32 v 2.7 for your correct operating system
Trial version
Full paid version

2. Goto Control Panel-> Add/Remove programs and Uninstall NOD32

3. Reboot

4. Goto C:\Program files and manually delete the folder ESET

5. Repair Winsock
Windows XP SP2/Windows Vista

Goto Start –> Run
type cmd and click OK.
Type netsh winsock reset
Press ENTER . Read the instructions and restart immediately !

Note that there is a space between the commands , example netshSPACEwinsockSPACEreset

6. Install NOD32 from the file you just downloaded in step 1
Use Typical settings

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


Now you should have working version 2.70.32 (the latest currently).

 

I'm not sure what it is you are saying is not possible

Thank you for your instructions. I have downloaded the new version and will do as you say.
