Problem with NOD32

**lifehacker** · February 5th, 2006, 04:45 PM

I have been recently getting some problems with NOD32 2.5.13. When NOD32 runs on startup its AMON (the file system monitor- the most important part of an AV) sometimes does not load and I get the message "Unable to load file system monitor". At times AMON loads fine , and sometimes it dosent load and I get the error message. Any suggestions other than get a new AV?
I have scanned my PC with NOD32's on demand scanner so Im pretty sure I dont have something such as the 00001/00002 virus (kills AVs).

Try the good auld favourite and uninstall and reinstall.

BTW, are there any other programs (Anitvirus/Firewall/Worm Protection) that may be conflicting with it?

Hi. i been using nod32 for years now, i love the program. have you gone into amon settings to make sure the on-access is checked? if all you settings are correct, then you might have to re-install,, double check your settings

Ive also been using NOD32 for a year or so and also love it. I went into AMON's settings and changed the "scan boot sectors" to only on shutdown and so far (Ive turned my PC on 2 times since I did it) it has been working fine. Lets hope it lasts...

Nope, its not working again. Unless anyone has any more suggestions Im gonna try to reinstall...

When was the last time you defrag. your computer?

**lifehacker** · February 8th, 2006, 03:35 PM

Would defraging have anything to do with it? Actually I last defragmented a while ago maybe a month or so.

Try it, it doesn't hurt!

Its not working again. : ( Actually I started getting problems with AMON some 3 days after defragmenting. I just didnt feel like posting this until I tried some more things to get it working. Anyways I tried reinstaling and updating to the latest version and its still not working. Any more suggestions?

....Anyone?

Can I suggest a change of AV's lifehacker. NOD was good for me at first but nothing but problems happen with it now.

At the moment I'm not using any active scanners, I'm just waiting for some time to try something new.

I was thinking of switching to KAV if I cant get my NOD32 fixed but Id rather get it fixed, but if not KAV will probably take over. Auggie Im just wondering, what problems were you experiencing with NOD?
