ESET Virus Signature Database Updates 5417 – 5418 ekrn.exe Error

Sep 4th, 2010

The following is from a tech article issued by ESET after ekrn.exe error messages were being displayed on Windows computers. These errors were displayed after the installation of virus signatures 5417 and/or 5418.

“Virus Signature Database Update 5417 and 5418 of ESET Security products NOD32 and Smart Security may have caused an “ekrn.exe” error. The update 5417 was released on September 2, 2010 at 10:23 CET (08:23 GMT) and was made to enhance a part of the scanning engine that deals with script malware. This error has in some cases caused “ekrn” crashing, systems not responding and threat notifications with blank name fields.

ESET has responded immediately to resolve the issue, releasing a corrected Virus Signature Database update 5419 at 16:33 CET (14:33 GMT). In most cases, updating your ESET security product and restarting your PC will resolve any issues you are experiencing as a result of this error.”
