Which registry keys, folders etc. to exclude monitoring in uninstall programs?

Hi guys,

3rd party uninstallers like total uninstall or advanced uninstaller pro monitors changes in registry and on disk. To prevent any errors it would be nice to exclude registry keys files/folders used by NOD32 from monitoring or at least those that might be modified during normal usage/installation of new programs.

The easy way would be just disabling NOD32 during installation, but this will also disables protection, and since there are a few installers that needs restart NOD32 need to be disabled during reboot too. I would prefer the protection by NOD32 during install and without causing any errors in a later uninstall, therefore I would like to exclude those in the uninstall program.

 

Hi, here are the registry keys used by the software:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Eset
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Eset
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Eset Smart Security - Context Menu Shell Extension
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{6953CFE0-74E6-4DE2-869E-D9ADFB2DC55F}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B089FE88-FB52-11D3-BDF1-0050DA34150D}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\eamon
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\easdrv
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\epfwtdir
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ekrn
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EhttpSrv
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Is that what you're looking for?

 

Excellent information! Any chance of making this a sticky, incorporating it in BlackSpear's tutorial or some other (sticky) thread?

 

I was indeed. Thank you very much!

Are these the folders used by NOD32? (where C:\ is the partition where windows and NOD32 are installed)

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ESET

C:\Documents and Settings\%user name%\Lokale indstillinger\Application Data\ESET

C:\Programs\ESET
