Nod32 effects Bit torrent

wondering if people can help me out here

I decided to Finlay scrap Norton's and switch to NOD32 which I really want to use I think its great.

heres the problem when I have it on my machine running BT after about 20 minutes freezes.. well the program doesn't freeze the download and upload speed just doesn't move. you click on advanced link and yeah no info comes up. so it is frozen yet it doesn't crash.

as soon as I unistalled Nod32 problem was solved

what is it in NOD32 that is causing this?

i don't really want to go back to nortons!

i have had the same problem as you have had with nod32 and panda titanium . when i was using bittorrent i would get to 60-63 connections then it would freeze i was told that bittorrent had some sort of compatability problem with those antivirus programs so i have gone back to using avg antivirus and i don't have that problem anymore.

There's something called IMON in NOD32 that might be causing the problem. During install uncheck the box when it asks if u want IMON.

Ya I remember NOD affecting BT way back although I thought it was only with AZ. Thing is as if you have a clue you most likely wont get any AV in the first place so I think you should have simplest or the one that uses the least cpu AV available since I also think definitions are getting very close amongst the majors, thats why Ide never use NAV again since its just bloated software doing more than Ide want from an AV. Ive found especially when dling to stick with things that are simple and effective which for me are AVG and Sygate, do their job and dont fk shit up...

but AVG sucks. :(

btw what BT do you use?

AVG is jus fine for me as like I said it uses little resources and does it job.
As for BT I use AZ mostly although Im not sure what Adster uses...

i use bittornado and i use avg and sygate firewall plus i do scans with trendmicro's housecall to make sure that i have not got anything on my computer.

Disable the IMON components of NOD32.

Also make sure you have the latest version (2.12.2).

Im using shadows bit torrento

well disable that and try

thanks guys

oh yea, i remember i went crazy when this happened crazy. don't just disable. uncheck the thing, then beneath it, click stop. this way it won't start next time.

Same problen here using NOD32 2.5 even with the IMON disable.... it freeze BT

guys, u dun have to disable IMON...
u can exclude ur bittorrent client from NOD32's monitor

here's how:
in ur NOD32's main window, click on the IMON section
now on the right window, click Setup
goto Miscellaneous tab
here u'll see a section called "Exclusion", click on Edit
now, just click Add and hunt down ur bittorrent program (the exe file)

apply the changes and they won't bother each other anymore

Good job, Gildan! Now I don't have to hunt through my NOD32 and type it out for him. :D

Also,

Add the exclusions in AMON.

"Amon"-"setup"-click the "Exclusions" tab.

I've included others besides torrent programs...Nero, SpySweeper, etc.

why would you do that? what if a virus infects one of those programs?

What you don't know doesn't hurt you perhaps? :huh:

It's a sandbox for virii...it may infect ONE program, but it's not going to propagate outside that particular folder. The infected program can always be reinstalled. But, I think the main point here is for the user...obviously he's going to use P2P, so why disable ALL protection (like the other posters suggested). This, to me, is a safe alternative.

I do have to amend my statement about adding other programs to the exclusions list, I'd just stick to the torrent program being excluded. I'm an experienced user (I worked security forums until a few months ago.)

i am using bittornado and if you go to prefs then go to advanced set up you can cap your connections to about 50 and this should stop the freeze up with nod 32 . it is working for me.

works also great with Azureus when you exclude the java.exe ;)
And now, you are safe again with NOD32 ... hehe

No prob, i've been through this problem in the past as well. :lookaroun
Excluding from AMON is unnecessary, if not dangerous. In fact rossco is right, u dun wanna take such chances.
