System hangs with ESET NOD32 Antivirus and Windows 7 from VHD

Question

I've installed the latest version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus Home Edition 4.0.468 onto a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate (x86). Windows boots from a VHD file (I suspect this is the problem). After installing NOD32, the system hangs when attempting to use Windows Explorer (or a minute or so after boot-up). The problem disappears when I uninstall NOD32. Has anyone had a similar problem?

I cannot replicate this. I have a VHD running Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) with the latest NOD32 (x64) and it doesn't freeze. Sorry, Jacob.

Configuring NOD32 Real-Time Scan to ignore .VHD files seems to do the trick. So far, no hangs.
