Okay, do you have CCleaner installed? If not, do a search and you will find it easily. It is totally free and quite safe. They have a utility Tool in their menu and it actually works better than the Windows Add/Remove. Look for all things ESET/NOD32 and uninstall.
Then do a Search found in your Start Menu and let it seacch under Files and Folders for Eset and then NOD32. If anything comes up then right click and delete.
Lastly, go to MajorGeeks.com and look for RegCleaner. This is also free. Now the thing about working in the registry one must be very careful. Go to the Uninstall tab and look for ESET and or NOD32 and ONLY check those and remove.
Do these steps work?
I did not realize you were looking for a new antivirus. I only thought you wanted to do a free scan.
http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/ so my apologies again.
if you still have issues go to
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/index.php which is ESET's official forums and you'll get help fast. really NOD32 is very good.
One other thing of note, the rule is One antivirus, one firewall, and one antispyware at any given time. Otherwise they will conflict with each other. This is not including Ad-aware because it is not doing resident protection. In other words, it only works when you need it to unlike resident protection software like an antivirus that is always running in the background.
