    I've read on a few different forums that users who upgraded to SP2 and had NOD32/ESS v4 installed ran into some problems.

    I want to update to SP2 but I have Eset Smart Security V3 installed. I am wondering if this will cause problems for me

    Would it be better to just un-install this before the actual SP2 install, and then re-install the program once I have updated ??

    Thanks

    PS - Is there a removal tool for ESET Smart Security / NOD32 like for Norton and McAfee that should be used to uninstall???

    no problems at all with SP2 and v3.

    furthermore, v4 is now compatible with Vista SP2 after a few updates, u can install the latest version 4.0.437 safely! 0 problems!

    NOD32 FTW

    No removal tool for ESET as its uninstaller is not as bad as the norton or symantec one keeping registry entries all over ur pc. u can install safely, then manually delete the ESET folder after the restart, and install whatever u want after that.

    So best thing for me is to un-install V3 install SP2 and then re-install V4 (which works with SP2) ???

    Thanks

    you're right, always make sure you run the latest version of NOD32 to ensure you got maximum protection.

    incase you installed it and for any reason got a message saying nod32 cannot start let me know ill tell u instantly how to get around that through 1 update ;)

    but u shouldn't face any problems as far as I know, last time I tried it with Vista SP2 64 bit last week it worked fine out of teh box.

    im here to support u if u have any problems.

    PS: i dont work for ESET :)

    No problems so far :D

    Run the updates on NOD32, then Restart, then tell me if the green NOD32 icon turns orange or green?

    Entered my Username and password, and hit update

    It updated (22MB) file, and showed the pop-up (successful update) and the icon remained green.
    I also checked the validity of my username and password, just as expected correct date came up.
    Had to restart after that (another program) but still green even after re-start.

    1000th post w00t! :D :D :D :D
