Yes, one part of the real time protection called 'Application Guard' will send an alert pop-up every time a new .exe or .dll starts up. Once you say allow you won't get a pop-up for that program any more. So whenever you install a new program there will usually be quite a few pop-ups.

But the good thing about it is if some malware tries to install something, you'll know about it and you can block it before it installs.

[yvesj]

thank you for fast reply .really good forum .is there a way to set it so i dont get all the popup .because before i use the antispware terminator . because before i use anti spyware terminator i never a program that did ask me to allow any thing and my computer was runnig perfectly .cant ask one more thing or do i have to start a new thread .i did try to run hihjack this .but it do not work any more this morning .uninstall it or ????

[stantley]

You can turn off those types of pop-ups by going to Real-Time Protection and under Application Guard, uncheck 'Threats shield'. But that kind of defeats the whole purpose of having real-time protection. Another option would be to temporarily turn it off when you install a program.

Try uninstalling HJT and reinstall to see if you can get it to run. You can get it here: http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en...ols/hijackthis

[yvesj]

thank you .i will do what you just said .as for hijack this i will uninstall it and download it again .do i have to go to the c/drive and remove it from there to ???? i cant not figure that out because it was working good before .a well this is a good way to learn about all that stuff .it is really hard for me because i do not have any school .grade 6 in 1959 and only been using a computer for 4 years now and never had any one to show me how to use one .only click with one finger lol.

The uninstall should get rid of it, but you could also do a search for HijackThis.exe and delete any older versions that you might have.

[yvesj]

thank .i will get back to you later .

[yvesj]

i did every thing you toll me to do .but i cant get the scan to work .is it because i still have the last scan result and none of them are check .cant i delete the last scan .or do i check all of them and delete them .am not to good with that stuff sorry .is it safe to check all of them ?????

[stantley]

When you run HJT and save the log file, the file is called hijackthis.log and it's in C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis. If you have an old log out there and run the program again it will create a new log that replaces the old one.

When you run HJT and click on 'Do a system scan and save a logfile' does the log open up in Notepad?

[yvesj]

yes this is what happen every time i try to do a new scan it the old log that show up .so i never get a new scan done .so right now it use less .so what is next .i will go in the c/drive and delete the old log .is that ok .

[yvesj]

this is the old logLogfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2

The first thing I would suggest is uninstall Windows Defender, since it could interfere with AVG antispyware. Is that the paid version of AVG antispyware?

Another thing you can do is turn off some of the statup programs, like:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RemoteControl] "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PDVDServ.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NeroFilterCheck] C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib\NeroCheck.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin\jusched.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Adobe Reader Speed Launcher] "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe"
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IgfxTray] C:\Windows\system32\igfxtray.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HotKeysCmds] C:\Windows\system32\hkcmd.exe

There are probably some more you could turn off, look them up here: http://www.lafn.org/webconnect/mento...p/PENINDEX.HTM

This explains how to turn off startups: http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_vista.html

Other than the problem with HJT, how is your system running?
