I would temporarily un-install it. In the post link the user kyledj 
un-installed it and that was the remedy. My recommendation is shaped by our 
experience with ESET among our customer base. More than a few times we 
suspected ESET was getting in the way. We disabled it, and the problem 
remained. We un-installed it, the problem went away. Therefore I don't trust 
ESET's "disabled" to mean actually disabled completely. Perhaps part of it is, 
but not the part that counts.

I don't have the option of un-installing it at my company (group policy 
setting). Therefore I created an exception for my application.

I'm tempted to uninstall it but I did disable it,

ESET is a big beast with many different modules sniffing everything you do and

is out of the picture? The failure mode is very telling at any rate. There are 
only a few things that can bring Windows to its knees as is happening here - 
one of these is a driver. ESET runs as a driver. I don't think libzmq could do 
this on its own.

I was really hopeful reading this as I'm also using ESET. But, I disabled it 
and still got the problem.

However, I have noticed a further pattern. The first time I run it it runs for 
a little over 1000 iterations then gives the assertion failure and stops.  The 
second time I run it I get almost the same behaviour but I get a couple of 
messages displayed AFTER the assertion failure. The third time I run it it 
processes 70 or so messages then hard locks my PC.

Dave, I have experienced the freezing problem you describe with Windows 7. I am 
using the NUGET package in a Windows service project built with VS 2010. It may 
freeze with no keyboard and mouse control  and you must perform a power button 
shutdown. Alternatively it may slow down the UI greatly, when this happens task 
manager will reveal that the process 'ekrn.exe' (this is ESET) is taking 50% of 
cpu resources, but Windows behaves like it is taking 99%. I found this post 
that pointed me in the direction of antivirus, ESET in my case.

https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/issues/160

If you are using ESET antivirus or some other antivirus make an exception for 
your executable. In ESET it is found under Advanced setup > Antivirus and 
antispyware > Exclusions. Add the path to your executable.

I've been trying to write a broker using ZMQ and found that it would
occasionally lock my PC totally, requiring a power-off as the usual
Ctrl-Alt-Del etc, and even a shutdown request by pressing the power button
did nothing.
