Vista - Eset AV and service pack 2 issues , workarounds

Anyone like me having issues with Esets smart security or AV after service pack 2 there are some workarounds , although the final one suggested seems to the best way to go...........uninstall 4 and install Ver 3

ESET Knowledgebase - Why does my Protection status icon turn red after installing Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008? (4.0)

the issue is worse for me as it when its playing up it also takes me offline a few restarts normally solves the issue but its a pain

Service pack 2 has been in beta for months , why the hell they didnt sort it before now is anyones guess , looking around it seems eset is loosing customers by the bucketload because of this and other issues with ver 3 and 4

pretty much the same thing happened to me!! but i was stuck in a loop it after rebbot it started to install phase 3 of 3 then when it got to 33% my pc would reboot!! did it for 2 hours before i assumed summat was wrong , i ended up reformatting.

that said i did reinstall eset after reformat , even before i installed SP1 and all went well the second time
