If you use Microsoft Windows Vista and Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 2008 and
experience problems with your system after installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0,
please review the following notes.
Problem 1:
After installing ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0 to a computer which has Agnitum Outpost
Firewall Pro 2008 on it, one or more of the following error messages may be
displayed:
"Could not write value ConfigPath to key
SYSTEM|CurrentControlSet/Services/EthttpSrv/Parameters. Verify that you have
sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
"Service 'Eset HTTP Server' (EHttpsrv) could not be installed. Verify that you have
sufficient privileges to install system services"
"Service 'Eset Service' (ekrn) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient
privileges to install"
These messages (or similar) may be displayed if Outpost Firewall 2008 prevents
ESET NOD32 Antivirus from interfacing with the system. This is not a bug or a flaw in
Outpost Firewall because this is the type of task the software is designed to perform.
However, because it is unaware of ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0, it must be configured
in order to allow the program to run.

Problem 2:
If you install Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 2008 on a computer which has ESET

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0 examines your computer for networkborne
malware by
routing ("looping") the network connection through itself. When a firewall such as
Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 2008 is installed, it can prevent ESET NOD32 Antivirus
3.0 from connecting to the network which, in turn, prevents all of the other network
traffic from reaching the network.

recognize ESET NOD32 Antivirus 3.0:
