A fix for affected systems has been released as an update module. The updated module will be downloaded automatically when a virus signature database update occurs in ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

After the update is downloaded, the entry for the Anti-Stealth module in the About window for ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4.0 will appear as Anti-Stealth support module: 1012 (20090526). The update is also installed if your Anti-Stealth module has a newer version or release date.

Why does the icon turn red after installing Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008? (4.0)
KB Solutions ID: SOLN2254|Last Revised: May 27, 2009

An incompatibily between Service Pack 2 and the 4.0 versions of ESET Smart Security and ESET NOD32 Antivirus prevents the proper functioning of real-time file-system protection. The ESET icon next to the system clock will turn red, notifying you that maximum protection is not ensured. It may notify you that your ESET security product needs to be reinstalled. Doing so will not rectify the incompatibility. An updated build for version 4.0 ESET security products is currently in development and will be released as soon as possible. To resolve the issue temporarily, follow the steps below to uninstall 4.0 and install the 3.0 version of your ESET security product :
