ESET Online scan; Update error (108)

[Tmc240]

Hello again,
Incidentals; Gateway
Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 2
Panda I. S. 2007
(K8) Athlon 64/Opteron HyperTransport Technology Configuration
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ @ 2400 MHz
2048 MB (4 x 512 DDR-SDRAM )
Nvidia Corp GeForce 8600 GTS
DirectX : Version 9.0c

I tried to use the ESET scan; since I've seen the link on several posts here. I clicked yes to the terms. I was then prompted to install an Active X control. I've tried to install the Active X several times over the last several hours.

After I click install; I get one Eset scan start screen; after pressing Start; I get another start screen. After pressing start; the scan page opens and freezes with the Update error (108).

I turned off the pop up blocker, and the phishing filter, and even turned off my Antivirus and firewall for a few minutes; with the same results from Eset. I think the Active X control isn't down loading for some reason.

I'm not worried about spyware perse. My Panda I.S. 07 is about to expire and I'm thinking of switching to another A.V. program just wanted to sample Eset's scan tools.

I've had Panda for 2 years. It has worked reasonably well. That is I haven't had any trouble with viruses. Still I'm not too happy with their online support.



Thanks;

Try to install ESET plug-in in Safe Mode.
You may also post HijackThis log to see what, eventually may be blocking that install.

Thanks for the response Broni,

The scan went through the next day; and it didn't find anything.

I'll post a high jackthis log in another post, one of these days. It's been a long while since I posted one. I depend on Ad aware and Spybot S D to keep most spy ware off this PC. I run those programs every day.

Thanks again.
Tmc.
