Eset Nod32 Vista fix

from
Decompression Errors [Archive] - Wilders Security Forums
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/archive/index.php/t-190291.html

Turn off Vista's UAC.

or this might work

NOD32 On Vista - The NeoSmart Forums
"Many of our users have had issues running the award-winning NOD32 on Windows Vista, but we've compiled a couple of steps that should end with NOD32 running ~95% of the time:

* Start the services control panel (in Administrative Tools, or services.msc)
* Disable "SSDP Discovery" in the services control panel.
* Install NOD32 by running as administrator, and when it asks whether or not to enable IMON, make sure to *disable* IMON in the setup.
* When it asks about "Appending AV Notification to email" make sure that is disabled as well.
* Reboot Vista.
* NOD32 should run OK, but IMON will be off, feel free to turn it on now, and it should work."
