What notification messages are displayed by Anti-Stealth?

Listed below are the new messages displayed by NOD32 v2.7's Anti-Stealth technology. Please note that seeing one of these messages does not necessarily indicate a problem. Some of these are status messages and it is normal to seem them during operation.
Message: "Anti-Stealth technology is enabled."

Reason: This message is displayed when the NOD32 On-Demand Scanner is using Anti-Stealth technology.

Steps to troubleshoot: None. It is normal for NOD32 to display this message.
________________________________________

Message: "Anti-Stealth initialization could not be fully completed. Anti-Stealth technology is working in limited mode."

Reason: Under Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, Server 2003 and Vista, this message is displayed if the NOD32 On-Demand Scanner is started from an account with restricted privileges or the operating system is started in Safe Mode. In order to operate correctly, NOD32's anti-stealth technology must run from an account with SYSTEM privileges and operating system started in a normal fashion.

Steps to troubleshoot: For Windows NT, 2000, XP, Server 2003 and Vista, reinstall NOD32 from an Administrator account and then re-run the scan.
NOTE: If NOD32 is run in a virtual environment or used in conjunction with security tools designed to quarantine, sandbox or otherwise virtualizes access to the operating environment then warning messages may be displayed saying the Anti-Stealth technology cannot be initialized. This is normal behavior for NOD32 when used in conjunction with these types of programs.
