my pc is without ESS from last 24hrs.

does this means we should stay away from public update? or

does this means i must format and lost lots stuff of my winxp sp3 ?

I am not official eset response but i can start helping a little.

First, after examining uninstall log. Everything looks ok.

(After such . . . Huge demand on troubleshooting eset and install uninstall multiple times, moving files ...)

I personally would run chkdsk to clean up my indexes and check for remnants causing error.

I looked at Install log and i found . . .

Info 1921.Service 'ESET Service' (ekrn) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services.

Start also.

So although truth is you cannot alter or start stop these services manually using a user account, the SYSTEM account may have permissions incorrect throughout c: and registry. Or whatever local account eset uses.

This may be too hard for average user to repair. I would suggest os reinstall after backing up data.

As a repair option . . . Syseternals the Mark Russovich ones has an ACL repair util.

But wait, before all that, have you checked your system for major rootkits or other malware with a few databases from other lesser companies ? Haha...

Try scanning system with TDSS by Kaspersky

Hitman Pro by Surfright

Malwarebytes by same

Proceed to ESET's Online scanner for full scan.

If nothing is found i would suspect system issues. At that point wait for official ESET response before proceeding to a drastic windows reinstall.

After running the Uninstall tool in safe mode, you cannot receive the error "Service 'ESET Service' (ekrn) could not be stopped." during installation because ekrn.exe is removed by the tool along with all other ESS files.

The uninstall tool needs to be used in safemode.

A good thing Marcos has pointed out there.

Your logs have uncovered something.

Very nice catch there Marcos
