Fix Windows 7 with Eset NOD32 Antivirus = Memory Leak

Story

I was downloading some movies references from the Internet. I left it to download for overnight since it was a very big file (around 4.48 GB). When I checked it in the morning, I found out that the download stopped working after a few hours I left it. Flashget says it cannot write to the hardisk anymore. Furthermore, the bluetooth suddenly stopped working and I’m having a hardtime running anything. I can’t even shutdown the PC properly as if there’s no memory left even though I’m not running any software at all. After a few times trying, I managed to open Task Manager and it comfirms that something went wrong and every memory I have is being used by something and cannot be killed.

Symptoms

Windows hang, hardisk LED blinking non stop, can’t even shutdown properly, can’t launch any new programs, Bluetooth stopped working and so on

Cause(s)

Who knows, Microsoft said it was the third party antivirus and firewall programs (in this particular case is Eset NOD32) even though that antivirus works fine in other Windows version

Solutions

Uninstall Eset NOD32 Antivirus and install something else for your protection.
Uninstall Windows 7 and start using Open Source OS such as the almighty Ubuntu Slackware.
