True.  I have no idea if this happened when I installed NOD or when windows did an update unfortunately.  NOD is fairly new to my system so the problem "may" have occurred when I installed NOD.

Hey Kris,

Remember though, that we are still not sure if the problem was caused by
a Windows update or a Nod update ( or both ).

What we are sure is that this was working perfectly well prior this (
these ? ) update(s), without the need to exclude XSI/XSIBatch from the
Nod scan.

We shouldn't have to do this. Perhaps a Nod update is now needed to sync
it with some recent Windows update. I've not seen any mention of this
kind of problem on their forum though. Odd.
