Lynx Registered Member Joined: May 31, 2011 Posts: 4 I have tried what seems almost everything to fix this problem that I've found on these forums and elsewhere. Deleted/recreated various temporary update files/folders, made sure I have the correct permissions set-up, multiple clean reinstalls, even tried using the beta build but the problem still persists.

I had been fine updating NOD32 for years http://support.eset.com/kb3018/?viewlocale=en_US and for some reason since the 21st May (the last time it successfully updated), it has refused to do so. Considering I just renewed a for 3 year license a few weeks prior to that, I'm not going to throw the program away for another just yet. Any other suggestions here?

Also I've checked that C:\Windows\Temp and other similar folders exist as per other threads here, here and also this one http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=271647 It can't be a firewall issue, it was updating fine less than two weeks ago and I've changed nothing that should affect firewall settings (I'm using COMODO Firewall Pro, even with it off nothing changes).
