NOD32 Typical Installation Guide

Introduction
Congratulations, you have just purchased NOD32, the most advanced antivirus
solution available.
NOD32 is very simple to use and you will probably not even need to read
through this guide... however, the following information will help you to get a
better understanding of the many features of NOD32, so that you get the best
protection possible.
NOD32 is more than just a virus scanner – being able to scan for known
viruses is the bare minimum that should be expected from an anti-virus
product, so it should be reassuring to know that NOD32 not only does this
faster, and more reliably than other products, but that it also has an excellent
track record in discovering new threats. In addition, version 2.7 includes
detection for adware, spyware and riskware aswell as rootkit detection with
its Anti-Stealth technology. With NOD32 you can be sure you have the most
advanced and comprehensive virus protection possible.

Guidebook Conventions
To highlight the most important points – we have used a set of simple icons
which draw attention to key information and settings.
Key:
The Check Icon indicates a setting that we recommend
you use or enable
The Info Icon higlights important facts and information
about NOD32, to help you make better use of the program
The Hazard Icon highlights areas where potential
problems can arise, or miscongurations occur, to help
you avoid damage or loss of data.
Use the icons as a guide – they will highlight the most important areas of
conguration and usage so that you get the best out of NOD32.
This document uses the following typographic conventions:

Minimum System Requirements
Please make sure that the computer on which you plan to install NOD32
meets the minimum system requirements for the program to run:
Disk Space: 30MB free disk space
Graphics: VGA video card. (SVGA 800x600 recommended)
You must only install ONE anti-virus On-Access
scanner at one time (a scanner that is always running
while your PC is switched on); otherwise you could
cause serious system instability.
If you are installing NOD32 with another anti-virus
program, please make sure you do not enable both
On-Access scanners at once.
If another anti-virus program has previously been installed on your
computer, its scanner may interfere with NOD32. Usually resident
scanners will display an icon in the system tray (the area of the taskbar
near the clock). We recommend removing any other antivirus software,
including older versions of NOD32, before installing NOD32 Version 2.7, to
avoid the possibility of serious problems
Version 2.7 may be installed over your existing NOD32 if it is version 2 or
higher, however, if any problems were encountered, a clean installation is
recommended.
Details on uninstalling NOD32 can be found in Appendix C on page 51.

the installation files are put during setup. These files can be

automatically install a compatible version, but the Extract path
will read: C:\Program Files (x86)\ESET\Install
