There is some confusion over whether it is safe to install a new version of ESET Antivirus (NOD32) or ESET Smart Security over the top of an existing license.

Here is a guide to trouble-free installation of ESET antivirus or ESET Smart Security when you already have an ESET product installed...

How to install an upgrade to your ESET antivirus - or ESET Smart Security...

this includes:

• upgrading from 2.7, 3.0, 4.0 etc to 4.2


• changing from ESET antivirus to ESET Smart Security


• installing a full licensed copy when you have the trial

Virus Signature Database Update 5417 and 5418 of ESET Security products NOD32 and Smart Security may have caused an "ekrn.exe" error. The update 5417 was released on September 2, 2010 at 10:23 CET (08:23 GMT) and was made to enhance a part of the scanning engine that deals with script malware. This error has in some cases caused “ekrn” crashing, systems not responding and threat notifications with blank name fields.

ESET has responded immediately to resolve the issue, releasing a corrected Virus Signature Database update 5419 at 16:33 CET (14:33 GMT). In most cases, updating your ESET security product and restarting your PC will resolve any issues you are experiencing as a result of this error.
