Can't download eset updates. Program update

Many users of Nod 32 antivirus have forgotten about such a problem as finding keys to update software. The program itself looks for a license and timely updates the protection of the PC. However, if this program does not exist or it does not work for some reason and node 32 is not updated, you should immediately solve the problem.

Ways to solve the problem

Antivirus Nod 32 Antivirus and Nod 32 Smart Security may not be updated for several reasons:

• The cache is full;
• There is no connection to the server;
• Virus signature databases are damaged.

In any case, the problem will have to be solved in various ways. First of all, you need to clear the update cache. To do this, run the program and press F5. Depending on the version of the antivirus, go to the "Advanced settings" or the "HIPS" section. Uncheck the box "Enable Self-defense". The program will prompt you to restart your PC. We click "OK".

After the reboot, go to the "Updates", "Settings" section and click "Clear Cache".

We restart the PC, start the antivirus and click "Update". If the software still cannot receive updates, go to the second method.

You must enable the display of hidden folders and files. To do this, go to "Computer", click "Management", "Folder and Search Options".

In the "View" tab, check the box "Show hidden files ...".

Now you need to clear the "Updfiles" folder. Depending on the operating system, its location is different:

• For Windows XP, drive C, Documents and Settings, All Users, Applications Data, ESET, ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus Updfiles, and ESET NOD32 Antivirus Charon. Delete everything in these two folders;
• For Windows 7 - drive C, "ProgramData", "ESET", "ESET Smart Security", or "ESET NOD32 Antivirus Updfiles" and delete its contents. Next, you need to go to the "ESET NOD32 Antivirus Charon" folder on the same branch and also clear it.

Then we find in the folder "ESET Smart Security" or "ESET NOD32 Antivirus" files that look like em ... _32.dat and also delete them. We restart the PC.

If the above methods helped to solve the problem, and you updated the program, you should re-enable the "Self-defense" function to reliably protect your PC.

Since you are reading this material, then the question “why is nod32 not updated on my computer” does not give you rest. The problem is that most users are psychologically unprepared for the fact that viruses can appear on their computer, which is protected by an antivirus. But in most cases known to any specialist, kaspersky antivirus or nod32 is not updated for the simple reason that this action is blocked by malicious software. In addition to directly blocking updates, this infection can manifest itself as severe OS braking, all sorts of glitches during operation, and the browser may stop working. In severe cases, the computer starts sending spam, or creates a huge number of connections to other PCs (DoS and DDoS attacks from "zombified" computers controlled by a single center).

If your antivirus gave up before the attack, the computer is infected and now nod32, Avast, or another antivirus program is not updated, don't worry, it's not the end of the world. And for those who immediately begin to prepare for reinstalling the OS, advice - do not rush, it will always be in time.

First of all, you should check whether changes have been made that block access to the site on which the databases are located in the hosts file located at the address drive C:\Operating system folder (usually this is the Windows folder, but the name can be any other)\System32 \Drivers\Etc. This file should contain nothing but the line 127.0.0.1 localhost.

If you removed everything superfluous in this file, but it didn’t help, and your nod32 is still not updated, then you will have to use additional ones. There are quite a lot of them, but in this article we will consider only a couple.

The first option is Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, a useful program that scans your computer pretty quickly and cleans it of most of the known malicious visitors. In cases where nod32 is not updated, you can try downloading KVRT, unless, of course, the same virus prevents you from doing so. But even in such a difficult case, there are friends who you can go to with a flash drive and rewrite this software in such a roundabout way to your PC.

When the program is installed on your computer, you just have to click on the check button, then the program will automatically scan your machine and prompt you to reboot, if, of course, this is necessary. If, after running this utility, nod32 is still not updated, you will have to try the next option.

The second program is not so well-known and popular, but nevertheless a very effective software product from Dr Web called CureIt. After you have downloaded it, or it was brought to you on a disk, flash drive or sent over the network, you should run it for execution. After starting, the program will ask you to confirm the execution of itself in a protected mode, just give it what it wants, as they say on the manufacturer's website - this will help the utility work more efficiently. So it presses “OK” twice, when the scanning window appears, press stop, click on the item “full scan” and after all these manipulations, we are waiting for the launch again.

Lo and behold, after checking these two class-leading programs, your computer should most likely start up normally and start working just like before. Ideally, it is best to check from under the Live-CD, but since few people know what it is, I will not give such advice. If you are interested in what it is - Live CD, then welcome to Google.

The benefit of this method of checking is that in a heavily infected environment, when the computer is already barely crawling, the check can take a very long time, and under a Live CD everything will happen much faster, since the OS will start not from an infected hard drive, but from a DVD or CD-ROM, which, moreover, is also much more reliable.

ESET NOD32 is a fairly powerful antivirus system that provides successful comprehensive protection of personal computers from a variety of threats. This level of security is helped by a wide range of modules that are constantly being improved by the product development team.

What system errors most often prevent users from updating their antivirus?

1. Wrong username and/or password

The most common and common mistake. So far, there is no universal method for solving this problem, the developers themselves most often attribute this to the human factor. That is, as a rule, these are either errors when entering personal data (login and password), or an error with the installed distribution kit (that is, the user has a key for another product, and not the one that he has installed). Also, this may happen due to a license failure. In this case, you should write to those support for verification, or buy a new one.

2. Undocumented serious error 0x1106 and 0x101a

Technical system error. It is solved only in two known ways.
The first is clearing the update cache, which is done in the settings. After that, the system will re-download the package without errors (probably).
The second is a complete reinstall. If the previous method does not help, you have to resort to this.

3. File not found on server

The program has a crash in the process of searching for update packages. To do this, clear the update cache in the settings, and set the automatic update check in the same place. Helps in some cases. Otherwise, it is recommended to reinstall the program.

4. Server not found

Similar problem to the previous one. It is solved in almost the same way as in case of impossibility to find the file on the server. In addition, you can try changing the program's Internet connection settings. Specifically, disable the use of a proxy server in the HTTP Proxy settings.

5. Server connection error

This error is purely a system failure. Solved by restarting the computer or problem. Alternatively, you can try the methods described in points 3 and 4. Users note that this usually helps.

In addition to multi-level protection, this antivirus has other advantages. Among them, the main one is the extremely small size of the update packages that the program downloads to ensure that the anti-virus databases and system modules are up-to-date and function effectively. No matter how much effort is put into this project, nothing is immune from surprises and mistakes. Even the software update process itself can be compromised.

To resolve this error, follow these steps: Solution 1 - Clear the update cache: 1. Open the antivirus window and go to advanced settings (F5 key on the keyboard). 2. Uncheck the box next to "Enable Self-defense". ESET will warn you that a computer restart is required. Click OK. 3. In the advanced settings tree, open the Update section. Clear the update cache by clicking the Clear button. Click OK and restart your computer. 4. Open the antivirus - update and click the "Update virus signature database" button. If you are still getting the "Error downloading update files" message, go to Solution 2. If not, turn Self-defense back on. Press the F5 key to open the settings window and then select Enable Self-defense . ESET will warn you that a computer restart is required. Click OK. Click OK to exit the Advanced Settings window. Restart your computer. Solution 2 - Remove update files: 1. Check that you can see hidden files and folders. Click the Start button - Control Panel - Folder Options or Folder Options - On the View tab, select "Show hidden files and folders" - click OK. 2. You need to delete the contents of the Updfiles folder: -Windows XP users: Click Start - My Computer and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Applications Data\ESET\ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus Updfiles and delete the contents. Then, go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ESET\ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus Charon and delete its contents. -Windows Vista and Windows 7 users: Click Start - Computer and navigate to C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus Updfiles and delete its contents. Then, go to C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Smart Security or ESET NOD32 Antivirus Charon and delete its contents. 3. Go to C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET NOD32 Antivirus or C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Smart Security and delete all files that look like em0 ** _32.dat. Restart your computer. 4. Open the antivirus - update and click the "Update virus signature database" button. If the database has been updated, you can enable Self-defense again. Press the F5 key to open the advanced settings window, and then select "Enable Self-defense". ESET will warn you that a computer restart is required. Click OK. Click OK to exit the Advanced Settings window. Restart your computer. If the steps above do not solve the problem, please uninstall and reinstall ESET.

Gee read the description of the program and frowned a little It's that every time it loads the system and eats traffic. I use it in a slightly different way. I update the demo version once a month.

And I have the same trouble, but only with Avira premium (licensed). Writes: an error occurred while downloading files.

Use mirrors to update

and no keys - than I like ESS or EAV, he needs keys (login / password) only for updating

and the update can be set manually))

I had the same problem. All these left updates, keys - a dead poultice. Tried to ... actually a lot. They help for a short period of time. In the end, my NOD-32 was finally banned. I decided to demolish it. Why put something? On the advice of our esteemed members of the group (there was a thread before the new year), I decided to change NOD-32 to a free Avast. For almost 4 months of "exploitation" never regretted. Several times I really missed "own goals", but not significant ones. When scanning, I corrected my mistakes, but this also happened with NOD. Perhaps the reason is that I do not use a third-party firewall. I always remember NOD-32 with a kind word, but Avast does not at all no worse, quite the contrary. The system does not load, it does its job properly. And this is exactly what I need. AVZ is always at hand, once a month DrWeb CureIt

Good afternoon Alexander (trapal) and on the screen of good protection for the computer, the axis that I will write is not 100 percent protected, but you can try to combine 2 good protections into one will insure each other WILL PUT ESET Smart Security + COMODO Firewall and you will not have any problems but about licenses for Noda, I wrote a program and no one will ban you, believe me, even if they ban the keys, they will always come second every day, they come 5 to 10 keys, all sites still don’t ban, but ban sites mainly behind viruses that which are not written by good people. And ON the Avasta shield, here’s what I’ll write earlier with the keys, there were no problems at all, but right now in the new versions of the Internet key you can’t insert patches, it’s hard to find a worker who wasn’t banned with a patch. But I found I also have an Internet version with a program that inserts updates FOR 50 YEARS. The antivirus is not bad, it has a strong firewall, it’s a pity that it confuses good programs with viruses, and I don’t know how it will behave together if it installs another program to protect the computer or if it conflicts, you need to pick it up and try it.

Maybe I'm wrong, but, in my opinion, in order not to be banned, you need to uncheck settings / advanced settings / ThreatSense.NET early detection system - uncheck the box enable ThreatSense.NET early warning system

Blindeagle***@h*****.com 04/11/2011

Exactly.

Hello, of course, you need to uncheck the settings / additional settings / ThreatSense.NET early detection system - uncheck the box to enable the ThreatSense.NE early detection system and it is advisable to do this during installation, but the antivirus computer, but the keys can immediately ban everything from the site of which you will take them.

Good afternoon, dear Paryushkina Galina Konstantinovna (galinka1360), this is what I will recommend to you, why do you need to update the antivirus manually when you can download the NOD32 license Update program, which will download for free and insert the keys to the NOD32 antivirus itself, suitable for all versions and does not change anything in the antivirus , you can install it yourself, I think, and I’ll write you a few more ESET Smart Security antivirus, the latest version can be downloaded from the official ESET website and for free and download from the site, preferably there the antivirus is not pirated, but a real one, visit once a month and download new versions for free for antivirus this one updates itself only its anti-virus databases, and the program does not update itself, so you need to download the anti-virus again when new versions of the product appear. HERE'S HOW YOU WILL PERFORM YOUR MOTHER I WRITE YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS ANTI-VIRUS.

Thank you for the Ukrainian language. But here is the opinion of one experienced person about the new NOD 32.

There are simply no words, only emotions. Developers who mock their own product like that should be tried and sentenced to life imprisonment.

In the past, NOD32 was just a luxury antivirus. I personally used it for several years, repeatedly tested it "in battle" with various particularly harmful infections. And where other antiviruses gave in, NOD32 always came out the winner. He worked quickly, easily and imperceptibly.

This continued until version 3.0. Now call THIS antivirus language does not turn - THIS just some misunderstanding, not an anti-virus program that sees nothing, can't decompress anything, and doesn't find anything.

Gentlemen, programmers-saboteurs from ESET, well, HOW is it possible, huh ?! It's just that my heart bleeds to see what you have turned into such a beautiful softie. Apparently, “PR” and running around the Internet, trying to catch each “pirate” personally, is much easier, more profitable and more interesting than taking care of your own product. Like, if you promote it correctly, then the user “grabs” anything? In the end, get down to business and return to us that wonderful anti-virus program that NOD32 was 4-5 years ago !!! I am ready to be the first in line for a license if NOD32 returns in its previous quality. And at the moment - it's just dull ... oh (yes, it's the same, sorry for the truth).

I am the axis that I wrote this article to write well, it’s possible to write a lot of what else, maybe mulberry є the share of truth I will give you an example of the popular anti-virus Kaspersky, which is how people act as a leader in the world. And how their site was hacked by Hackery, I have long been battling in them on the site and writing vulnerability, writing you can be hacked, and the stench at the source wrote and hacked. Zvіsno yakbi there practiced sensible specialists of high equivalence with their resources and їhnіmi Laboratoriya such a thing could not have happened.

Thanks again for the advice, and for the wonderful Ukrainian language. But you shouldn’t get so carried away. After all, the site is Russian-speaking and not everyone is familiar with the Ukrainian language. Otherwise, this is how they start writing in English or Hebrew, and an antivirus with a firewall will come to us all here

In just Ukrainian, my native language, at least 1 person likes it, it’s good, but if you know Ukrainian and Russian languages ​​\u200b\u200bthat are similar to each other, this of course pleases, well, since the Russian-speaking site will write an article in Russian. Of course, I can write a lot of things on this article, but maybe there is some truth here. ESET needs high-level programmers, as it were, to constantly improve and write a high-quality and strong antivirus, that's the whole truth. I will give you an example of the popular Kaspersky antivirus which, according to some people, is the leader in the world. And how their site was hacked Hackers, I have long seen in them on the site their vulnerability wrote to them you can be hacked and they wrote in response Our defense is not strong, do not engage in nonsense, but in vain they did not listen, I thought it seemed that I was joking with them, and here they are again and hacked. Of course, if smart high-level specialists with their own resources and their own Laboratory had worked there, this probably would not have happened.
