issues with nod32 and peerblock

    So been on this now a few weeks and no issues bar the usual ones! Well until I installed nod32 antivirus and also peerblock yesterday and started noticing issues.

    1. EA keeps kicking me from the server before game starts. this seems to be a peerblock issue as when it is disabled it works fine. I haven't had a full look at the settings yet so i'm sure there is an easy fix (like clicking the button to allow HTTP not just HTTPS which was annoying till i figured it out) but wanted to ask here if anyone had the same issue or found a fix?

    2. Nod32 is making things work weird on my battlelog. When selecting server i have to refresh the page to change settings and apply filters. I was also getting pop ups saying that there was a connection issue (can't remember the exact term) but when i added the IP to the trusted zone it started working better but not prefect. Does anyone again have a fix?

    At the minute my only solution to both of these is to disable protection for a few hours.

    maybe nobody else has these issues but maybe yous have or had something similer at least!

    I use microsoft security essentials and it it keeps everything fine for me on both PCs here,no need for anything else imo.
    Only other protection is the odd scan with spybot S&D.

    also using MSE here and no problems. i used to use both nod32 and peerblock in my paranoid days, but tbh peerblock's pretty redundant now, and nod32 occasionally got some random errors so i went to MSE and havent looked back.
