AskWoody_MVPMay 29, 2009 at 12:28 am #59684Bummer that NOD32 version 4.x doesn’t support Vista SP2.
check this blog:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/donna/archive/2009/05/28/eset-to-vista-sp2-end-users-downgrade-to-v3.aspxESET suggests downgrading from version 4 to version 3. fortunately, I’m already using NOD32 v3.0.684 on a Vista SP2 based Dell laptop and didn’t have to upgrade to v4.

GuestMay 29, 2009 at 9:08 pm #59685I respect anyone’s choice of their personal favorite security programs, but please reconsider ESET. Their antimalware has not fared well in independent lab testing. That’s a fact, not an opinion.
Given that there are perfectly good free alternatives, I see no reason to stick with security software which conflicts with an imprtant Windows Service Pack.
Just my opinion. Take it or leave it.
