[NOD causing system to freeze after login]

I have the paid version.......with real-time protection so this could be the issue. I will reinstall MBAM, rename the file & report back.

Thanks for replys.

 

I havent fully tested renaming both of the drivers as yet but I will report back as soon as I do. I read another thread on precisly this problem and user concerned mentioned that they had MBAM installed on their computer - could this be causing conflicts?

 

Thanks again

Ok, fair enough. I've just renamed both of them; I need to rename them one at a time? Disabling both of them causes the issue pictured.

 

EDIT: I renamed 'ehdrv.sys' only which caused my system to lock up more i.e. less items displayed on the desktop.

Hi Marcos,

 

I will try this now & report back in a couple of days to see if it has remedied the problem. Surely ESET should be putting out updates/patches that don't require this sort of action by the end user especially when it's a paid for poduct.

Shortly after booting up and after the desktop appears my PC occasionaly freezes along with the timer icon. I have to force restart a couple of times before the pc becomes usable.

 

 

Also had this listed in Event Viewer:

The ESET Service service hung on starting

• I've ran chkdsk along with other 3rd party HD drive checks
• Tried system restore
• Run virus/malware scans - nothing
• SFC /Scannow
• Can't see any exclamations in device manager
• The computer will always boot up in safe mode with no trouble at all

 

I have uninstalled & reinstalled NOD with a thorough clean of its components in between.

 

• In safe mode: disabled the Eset service in Windows' service manager
• Uninstalled Nod using the Nods uninstaller
• Tried to find and delete Nod's ehdrv driver using device manager - it wasn’t there

Uninstalled the pc worked fine, reinstalled again and the problem returns.

 

I hope someone can help me with resolving this issue
