That's the best thing about ESET and is the main reason I don't buy Kaspersky products, 3 activations and baam, they blacklist the license. Thank you sir.

so I just formatted and installed ESET NOD32 Antivirus v10.0.169.0 (x64) (Beta) which I had saved the installer from the previous update temp folder. It then asked me to activate it using my license not the beta license which is fine, I have a 7 user / 7 year license now when my system was activated, it said Activated: system name: CHRONOS-1. Does that mean that the previous activation for my computer name CHRONOS is still somewhere? like why is there a -1 after CHRONOS? I am just worried that the previous activation is now taking one of my activation seats. how does one delete old activations anyway?

I never used my system after the upgrade, I was actually just about to restore an image using Macrium Reflect so I did a clean install of the new BETA and it's been perfect

thanks for the tip champ.

That didn't work due to denied access when running the command: so here is the final solution to install the latest update thanks to xxJackxx: 1- While NOD32 is running, go to the start menu > ESET, then right click on ESET NOD32 Antivirus icon and choose run as admin. 2- This will re-launch the GUI in Admin Mode with full privileges 3- Now run the update again and you will immediately notice it is actually downloading the files then will proceed with the installation. 4- Reboot when prompted to do so to complete the installation Note: If you want to save the installer for future use, it is located in: C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET NOD32 Antivirus\Installer and is named: NUPEFEF.msi this way you can install the latest version in the future right away

Wow!! who would've thought!! So simple!! thank you so much chief! Not even the ESET support knew that when they just emailed me telling me they have forwarded the issue to the developer you are a genius

Says access denied when I try to do step 1:

yeah, I sent a bug report, tweeted a message to ESET, seems like no moderator on the forum is active. Since we are doing ESET a favor by using a BETA to participate in perfecting this AV, the least I expect is some more interaction/attention from the ESET staff.

I was never able to do an internal of an ESET product. They cannot seem to get this right since years.

Same here with my NOD32 v10.0.106.0

Avira at the top just like last quarter, solid performance from Kaspersky/Avast as usual... Windows Defender/Mcafee/Trend Micro are a big no no for people seeking a light AV that doesn't cripple their machine. Unlike AV-TEST, these performance tests according to my experience really represent the true story.

I used Windows Firewall Control a few months ago and when I did, NOD32 would never be able to update. I allowed the ESET Main GUI process but it still didn't update. What service/file needs to be granted internet access in order for NOD32 to update normally?

This just got released, upon extracting the ZIP file, NOD32 deletes it saying it's a virus.

Think I may give this a go after your comments Phoenix. Did you do a clean install or install over v9 ? I never do that. After installing Windows and all my stuff, I take an image using Macrium Reflect and name that image "Before AV" then I play with whatever AV I want. To me, nothing beats a pure fresh install so if I do face any issue, I don't sit and think hmmmm, maybe it was because of a conflict of the previous AV just my 2 cents

I feel NOD32 v10 is ready to be final. It's better than v9 in every way, performance, stability, GUI

if you notice my sig, I have the 950 Pro. Remember that user who complained about slow performance with the 950 Pro? https://forum.eset.com/topic/7072-nod32-90318-slows-down-samsung-pro950-per-magician-benchmark/ Never experienced that but it's working perfectly with NOD32 v10 I submitted a recommendation to the ESET Team:

Finally, you have managed to bring back the days of the light NOD32 v2, look at the benchmarks of before and after. Mind you, in wPRIME, the lower the time, the better, but that is a very small fraction of a second hit whereas with other AVs the hit is higher at around an increase of 0.5 to 1.5 seconds on the time needed by wPRIME to run the test

thanks a lot my friend

Just noticed there is a small update, any changelog? NOD32 Antivirus 64-Bit = hxxp://download.eset.com/download/win/eav/eav_nt64_enu.exe NOD32 Antivirus 32-Bit = hxxp://download.eset.com/download/win/eav/eav_nt32_enu.exe

Just turn off the notifications for Windows Updates in the settings. I find it very annoying how ESET wants to control what updates I install! leave my freakin' computer alone! I don't want the Micro$h43ft crappy updates!

Just tried using the live installer and that did actually download the latest NOD32 Antivirus 9.0.349.0
