You don't mention which version of NOD32 you are running. I can say
that I am running NOD32 version 4.0.437.0 under Windows 7 RTM x86_64
with no problems. All scheduled tasks run.

There were problems with earlier versions of NOD32 and W7, so you
might want to make sure you have the latest version.
