Super_Spartan 56 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've always had this issue, when watching any video online like on YouTube or so, the video is not smooth despite me having a 50 MBPS connecton, it would start playing, then hang, buffer, buffer for a long time, then play a little bit, then hang..... so I just download the video using my Internet Download Manager which dowloads it @ 6 MB/S then watch it on my computer locally. Today I was recommending NOD32 to one of my expert friends in the security world and he told me that he won't install NOD32 since v7 or v8 because they are heavy and make his videos stutter and stuff, so I just though wait a minute, I have been experiencing that as well.... so what's the solution to this? disable HTTP scanning? Also, why won't ESET fix it instead of us having to disable vital components of the AV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arakasi 549 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hello, Usually if they request that you disable vital components, it is at the behest of troubleshooting. The main reason is to ascertain if the disabled vital component is the core of the problem or not, so they know where to start working. Not a permanent solution. I would double check you dont have any conflicting net drivers, Does your speed tests also conclude with 50mbps www.speedtest.net ? Now please answer this question. Do you have SSL protocol filtering mode on or off ? On the HTTP, HTTPS area of Web and email, make sure HTTPS is set to "Do not use HTTPS protocol checking". See if it resolves the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if it resolves the issue All settings are at default, never played with anything. This is on a clean Win 7 x64 installation I have install KAV for now to see if the issue is there just to ensure it is NOD32 causing it. Additionally, yes my internet speed test is fine at speedtest.net it's just the online video streaming that's the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) I have install KAV for now to see if the issue is there just to ensure it is NOD32 causing it. Not, that you could just uninstall NOD32 and test it without any antivirus... Do you have the latest Flash Player installed? Do you tried reinstalling Flash Player? Do you tried the HTML5 version of the YouTube-Player? Does it really happen for every video you look? What browser did you use? Do you tested it with an other browser? And if you already talk about HTTPS scanning: Does it also occur when you watch the YouTube video through a HTTPS connection? And only for troubleshooting: Does it also happen when you deactivate Web protection or protocol filtering (one at a time)? You give quite less information about your problem (and the possibly tried solutions) compared to the part where you are only getting angry about ESET (or telling what great "expert friends" you have...).

Administrators Marcos 5,069 Posted November 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 8, 2014 Never noticed this issue on Windows 7. Just to make sure, do you have SP1 as well as all Windows Filtering Platform-related hotfixes installed? hxxp://support.microsoft.com/kb/981889 hxxp://support.microsoft.com/kb/979278 hxxp://support.microsoft.com/kb/2664888 hxxp://support.microsoft.com/kb/979223 hxxp://support.microsoft.com/kb/2735855 hxxp://support.microsoft.com/kb/2789397 If the issue is caused by a bug in Windows Filtering Platform, it would not occur with most other competitive software as most of other vendors don't utilize Windows Filtering Platform.

Do you mean that you also installed the hotfixes that are not distributed automatically via Windows Update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugk 397 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 FYI some hotfixes are not automatically distributed by Windows update, but are good to install when you have issues. But I don't know how it is with these hotfixes, but I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to check whether you have installed them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Spartan 56 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 I don't understand what you mean Marcos, I mean, I installed a Windows7 SP1 professional from a Windows 7 SP1 disc that came with my Alienware, then installed all Windows updates via Windows update itself, then installed NOD32 and all my apps. What I noticed, is that this streaming videos issue didn't happen on IE 11, only on Firefox and its variants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Spartan 56 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 I also did install the Microsoft Fitxt It 50688 for Event ID 10 which stops a stupid WMI error in event log for systems that have SP1 integrated by the OEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,069 Posted November 13, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2014 For instance, the hotfix hxxp://support.microsoft.com/kb/2789397 is not included in Windows 7 SP1. I, too, have SP1 installed but had to install another hotfix addressing issues with system freezes manually. Properties Article ID: 2789397 - Last Review: March 13, 2013 - Revision: 3.0 Applies to Windows 7 Service Pack 1 Windows 7 Enterprise Windows 7 Home Basic Windows 7 Professional Windows 7 Starter Windows 7 Ultimate You wrote that the issue occurs with Firefox but not with IE. Does it occur also if you start Firefox in safe mode (without add-ons)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,069 Posted November 13, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2014 Also if you have a chance to test it with Chrome, Opera or other browsers, please do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Spartan 56 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Hmm, I have just reinstalled Windows 7, did all the Windows updates, installed NOD32 8.0.304.0 and tested a few streaming videos on IMDB and YouTube and there was no stuttering or the usual buffering hangs I used to get before. that's on Cyberfox Browser (based on Firefox as well) with all my add-ons. So I guess somehow the issue is fixed. PS: I will never touch Chrome or Opera, hate their interface so much, hate the fact that they have no WYSIWYG support for vBulletin 3 forums, and the list goes on. All I care about now, is the issue seems to be fixed Thank you very much for your support Marcos, at least I know that with NOD32 I do have support unlike other AVs I've used before Edited November 14, 2014 by MaXimus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweX 871 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Okay that's good. Well, if the issue comes back make a post in this thread right away and we continue the troubleshooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleischmannTV 9 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 @Maximus Could you try to open the AMTSO phishing test page, located here: hxxp://www.amtso.org/feature-settings-check-phishing-page-intro.html This is just to check if protocol filtering is working at all with Cyberfox. If you are able to open the link located at that page, then protocol filtering isn't working correctly with Cyberfox and that could be the reason why you are no longer experiencing any problems, now that you've switched from Firefox to Cyberfox.

SweX 871 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Yeah could be worth a try. But protocol filtering should work fine in all browsers. Unless he have excluded Cyberfox from protocol filtering in the setup tree under "excluded applications" He can also check that the checkbox for Cyberfox is marked under "web and email clients", though browsers should get marked automatically. All browsers I have tried always get marked automatically anyway. But as he did a clean install I guess he haven't touched any of this. He could do all 5 of the tests once he's at it (including Phishing): hxxp://www.amtso.org/feature-settings-check.html Edited November 14, 2014 by SweX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know the beauty of NOD32 is it works across any browser without the need of an extension. Additionally, all settings are at default in NOD32 haven't touched a thing. But as I said, the video streaming issue seems to be solved....I don't know what caused it in the past.... but I'm glad it works now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
