I have NOD32 3.0 installed and have had since release - it has been running fine. However, today I've been having problems accessing webpages when email and other services have been running as normal. I restarted my computer and that didn't help. Then I tried disabling Web Access protection in NOD32 and it works fine again. I don't understand what, other than definitions, could have changed things. I downloaded an updated build from the Eset website but that didn't help.

I'm very annoyed because NOD32 has been very good in the past. However, version 3.0 is nowhere near as good as version 2.7 was. I don't want to have to roll back but I don't want to have to disable internet protection to browse websites. There seem to be a lot of complaints about internet problems with version 3.0... does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I have been having some issues with the new Nod32's web filtering as well. I use Firefox as my web browser and just tried to download the latest version of OpenOffice.org and the download kept getting stuck at 100%. I have also had 100% CPU usage with ekrn.exe at times. Nod32 appears to be filtering all kinds of things that appear to be web traffic even when not using a real web browser. I noticed this when downloading the fonts and dictionaries through OpenOffice.

I currently have Nod32 to only monitor traffic from the applications that I designate as a web browser (IE and Firefox). I have a lot of applications listed in the list, but I have only selected IE and Firefox. I see a note on the screen where applications are listed that says something about putting a cross in the box to make it not scan that, but I can't get the cross (I assume "X") to come up. I just get a "check" or "no check".

EDIT:

I just went back to my Nod32 settings, and changed the protocol filtering to the selection for both ports and applications and went back to the list of apps. Now I can get the "X" for the apps I don't want scanned. I think the better option for me is to just use the applications only setting instead of both ports and apps though. I do have Outpost Firewall 4 installed, and have just turned off the Anti Leak control for ekrn.exe to see if that helps with the CPU usage.

Hello,

You might want to verify you have the latest version installed, v3.0.621.0. I seem to recall reading an earlier message here that this was a problem with older versions that was fixed in a newer version.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
