FRD doesn't loads me anymore..

Well Hi, i am recently using this powerful tool ^^

but i got a problem...
i recently Format my PC...
everything was perfect when i was using FRD, i let my brother use the PC for a while... then when he finishes using the pc the FRD wasn't Loading... just the little image of Vity's Free Rapid Downloader appears but it doesn't load the progam :(

huh? my bro installed mozilla firefox because he said firefox is more fast and bla bla bla...
so i want to use FRD and it doesn't load... i uninstalled firefox but the problem continues..

any help?
PD: When i Format PC and Before, everything was perfect ¬¬

Do you use ESET Smart Antivirus?

-------------------------------------

yeah

So you have 2 choices:
1) Make correct settings of the antivirus, because it blocks FRD in correct functionality.

or

2) Start FRD from command line:

frd.exe -Doneinstance=false

(only once is enough)

mmm better i uninstall ESET.. lol..
ok, i am uninstalling The Antivirus...

but meanwhile i wanna do the 2 choice but...
...but i am a little noob on the command line xD
i must go to Start>>Acesories>>Command Propt?
and then write this? "frd.exe -Doneinstance=false"


EDIT:

yeah, or shorter way:
Start->Run
type cmd ENTER

cd "YOUR FRD FOLDER PATH" ENTER
frd.exe -Doneinstance=false ENTER

Hi!

Thank you for this great program and for this workaround!

But can you tell me what settings exactly in the eset antivirus you have to change to correct this blocking?

Thanks.

Sorry, I don't use this antivirus. I don't know the correct settings, but I suppose it's possible (somehow).
If you disable the feature "Allow only one instance" you won't have problems with ESET Antivirus.
This feature tries to settle one net port and the antivirus blocks it. FRD considers this behaviour as already running another FRD instance. Therefore FRD does not launch itself.

Ah, thanks!

I will report this to ESET and we will see if they will conform it as bug or feature

Someone already tried to do that:
[www.wilderssecurity.com]
The antivirus considers the FRD's behaviour as an attempt to create server (as trojans do). They won't change it. You just need to allow FRD to do that, otherwise functionality "Allow only one instance" won't work - it's Java way ([www.devx.com] - here is a description how it works internally).
FRD is no malware/spyware or any *ware...

Update: Ha, it was you .
