I am having a very hard time to get NOD32 v10.1.204.0 installed correctly on 2 different Windows 8.1 Pro machines. Both of the machines were running version 9 of NOD32 and were updated within the program. But once updated they would not load on reboot. After several attempts to get it to work I proceeded to uninstall NOD32 and reinstall as follows.
I went through the steps on Eset's website and used the ESETUninstaller.exe to completly remove all traces of NOD32 from one of the machines. I then used the live installer to reinstall NOD32. After it installs, I am able to enter the product key and the program is activated. But on reboot I can see in Task Manager that the Eset Service is started and immediately shows it using 99% of the disk activity. It then shortly disappears from the Task Manager. If I go to Services it shows the Eset Service as scheduled to automatically run but it is in a non-running state. I do not have an icon in the Taskbar for NOD32. The Action Center indicated there is an issue with the antivirus and gives me an option to:
"TURN ON NOD32 ANTIVIRUS - Choosing this option will run a signed app registered to ESET NOD32 Antivirus that Windows can't monitor."
When I click the above option I get the following option:
"Yes, I trust the publisher and want to run this app."
When I select the above option, a black window (like the command prompt) very briefly opens and then closes. And then nothing else happens. Rebooting the machine results in the same thing happening again.
I have tried to uninstall/install NOD32 twice in this manner and have gotten the same results.
Please help.
