Hundreds of millions still use Windows XP 32-bit, and ESET Smart Security and NOD32 are used by millions of people. Without additional information anything could be the cause, but you have identified a possibility by seeing that this is when the crashes started to happen.
Vista and 7 went a long way in preventing these types of problems.
The more programs you have, the more conflicts are possible. XP is known to BSOD because it is growing on in years. Remember that it is an entire security suite, so it is using more resources and is certainly scanning inbound and outbound connections. If you are running a Peer-to-Peer networking program, this may be causing some problems with Smart Security. I have personally installed ESET products on dozens of computer systems and have not seen this issue take place: not on XP 32 or Windows 7. One thing that is for certain is that anything is possible. One of us can look at the BSOD minidumps for you, if you are willing to follow the steps at. I bought Smart Security because I thought it would be an upgrade to their AV. My question is this: Does ESET Smart Security not work well with XP 32 bit? It's had 4 perfectly fine installs, and those are running well (even the XP 64 bit install). The HDD with the last problem install of ESET Smart Security is on my HP desktop (2 entirely different computers). So now it appears that it's a XP 32 bit issue, rather than my IBM. The last install, Windows XP Pro (32 bit), BSOD'd on me before I could even enter the setup (username, password & contact screen). These two evaluation copies of Windows and the one I'm about to describe are on the same HDD. It installed perfectly on both of my OEM installs of 7 Pro, another evaluation copy of 7 Pro, and an evaluation copy of XP Pro 64 bit. So I'm thinking that's it's a ThinkPad issue, being that NOD32 ran quite well on all versions of Windows, from 2000 Pro through 7. I reinstalled it, and it was the problem. Being that it was a new install, and I had just put a bunch of programs on, I needed to make sure it was ESET. I done this because my ESET NOD32 AV's subscription was running out (it now has).Īfter installing the trial version on the ThinkPad, everything was going well until I removed a flash drive (using Safe Removal). A couple of weeks ago, I downloaded the trial version of ESET Smart Security 5, to try out on my IBM ThinkPad T42 which dual boots Win XP MCE & Win 2K Pro.
