Nod32 and windows 8 problems.

deadite66 · 29 Mar 2013 at 08:47

running x64 win8 with Start8.

with version 5 of nod32 a lot of the times the desktop would hang from a fresh boot.
since version 6 arrived a few days ago that desktop problem was fixed but i am now getting random slowdowns, task manager shows normal cpu load but the desktop is almost unusable.

uninstalled nod32, spybot s&d and enabled defender again to confirm it is nod32.

anyone else had these problems?

Gman, i think eset are quicker to pick up on the latest attacks than MS.

Have you upgraded to 6.0.314.0? It was released the other week.

the update from last week was the one causing me slowdowns.

so far with defender no slowdowns, i will see how the day goes and reinstall nod32 tomorrow and see what happens.

nod32 reinstalled and fingers crossed no slowdown (yet).
hopefully a uninstall/reinstall cleared out what ever was causing a problem.
