nitroshift Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hi guys!I tried to install NOD32 v.2.51.20 on Vista 5472. It installs fine but after reboot my pc locks up soon after displaying the desktop. No icons appear in the system tray. I assume that Vista blocks the NOD32 engine to start (although it doesn't ask me whether I want to let this program run). Has anyone tried this scenario? Any ideas? What other antivirus might work on Vista? Thanks for help.nitro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 the NOD engine doesn't hook in right into the network stack anymore, since it was revamped, all the hooks and places that the AV companies hooked into the stack are not all there, things have to be redone. check Eztrust AV from CA, they offer a free year of it for Vista :-D you should check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thanks fizban2, I'll give it a go. Pitty that we can't use NOD32, but I'm sure this is just a temporary situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizban2 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 agreed, i am sure NOD is working on a vista compatible version now, just could be a hard rewrite (since that is what alot of companies have to do) we will hopefully see it when vista RTMs or soon after but who knows...

Albuquerque Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Symantec is facing a similar situation with their Symantec Client Security software. All the hooks into the IP stack and other assundry items just don't work anymore; the best you can do is their SAV 7.5 for Vista Beta 2 tool.In fact, only last week did my company get the info for making our SAV-enabled Vista B2 machines integrated into our coporate Symantec Management Console.

Paraglider Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 PC-Cillin have a beta program running for Vista. The current version from www.trendbeta.com works fine on 5472. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, good find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
