    Delay in startup - protection module

    in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum

    Posted

    Hi Guys and Gals

    Just a question - has anyone ever noticed a delay on the startup of the protection module - i am not on about the actual program icon (registry key is something like delayguistart)

    I mean it starts up fine after the delay and then the protection module is disabled - moments later it re-enables itself (could be between 3 and 5 seconds or 5 minutes)

    I've reinstalled, using the full uninstall routine (mbamclean etc) and it seems to work for a day or two - then this error returns - i am stumped as its not on every system i manage with either the professional or corporate edition.

    I am posting here as it is on the professional edition as well as the corporate edition - not just one or the other

    Checking in... seems ok ..... BUT

    Easiest solution might be to use file permissions to prevent modification of the ignore.dat file, and then just push an 'approved' ignore.dat file via your logon script (assuming this is a corporate environment). Someone else may have some other ideas though. :D

    Not as easy as that ... i wish it was a corp enviroment - would save a lot of problems... but its charity and done on the cheap VERY cheap

    Hi guys

    First of all - round of applause on the new additions

    - improved scanning time is amazing

    - less lag when running in background

    - IP Blocking - better info *thanks*!

    ..... BUT

    Regarding the feature of the exceptions list - as i work somewhere that people tend to be mischevious little blighters they could just allow something through as they want to use it - if there was a password it would be a advantage so we could ensure (or at least try) to safeguard whats installed

    I know am asking for a lot considering its already in beta stage.... but its the first chance i've had to check this on a machine in the proper enviroment.

    ----

    In a single user enviroment (aka own pc) its absolutely perfect - you're all on my christmas card list!!!!

    Wanted to edit this post but for some reason will not allow..

    Update - I took the battery out of one of the PC's to send it back to y2k... thinking Symmtime would then synchronise correctly...its now years out of date - it will sync correctly then less than 2 seconds later it goes back years

    Any ideas????

    Sounds like SMART disk technology is telling you your drive is about to die - which means new h/d time

    Backup any files you have created - pictures, documents etc and save them to USB / CD / DVD

    Buy a new HD and if you are confident on doing things yourself and have recovery disks or windows vista oem then i suggest install windows on the new drive

    **cant find edit function**

    If you cant bear to loose all progs etc you may be able to 'clone' the h/d onto a new one, someone else may suggest software to do that,

    (i have used acronis v10 before on a SATA and a IDE drive on a desktop pc, without problems but i have never done it with a laptop)

    It may be a lot of work but I personally prefer a clean install on a new h/d

    Ok

    Here's one for you all - and this is baffling me

    I use Symmtime 2010 (v4.9) across different systems on a network of 12 computers (they all run XP but a mix of XP Home and XP Pro)

    On 2 computers in the building I have a corruption showing. By this I mean it could be a few minutes out of date

    Nice to be informed...

    I asked ESET to let me know....

    I was one of the people to spot this massive error that stopped network browsing - lets hope that all this 'domain vs workgroup' stuff aint needed until i know how bigger headache it will be

    Thanks noknojon :)

    Domain's vs Workgroups...

    I've recently took over IT at the radio station, and am needing to make improvements to certain places where i see a problem

    Previously we've ran ESET smart Sec v4 without problems, however due to people bringing in USB sticks etc i've been tasked in securing our systems without interfearing with the membership.

    I've heard about 'domains', i know we have a workgroup in place as we use XP home and XP pro on these systems, i am in the process of trying to set up a domain - and to be brutally honest am well out of my depth as i am hardware trained not software.

    I have my 2 personal systems running ESET 4.2 and have them both on Xp Pro sp3 and in a workgroup - this works fine but when i upgraded the systems at the station to 4.2 (as i was told to do) all [bleep] broke loose, shared network resources wouldn't work, printers etc.

    I have a option to format and reinstall all the systems up there if needed but as we have 10+ running you can see that this is going to be a major undertaking

    These 10 computers are on the net 24/7 and in a workgroup. Being a charity they were built from companies that build Home PC's, they are not designed as to be server machines - we have one called 'server' that runs the record library and a british hits database and printers

    I am wanting to make this as secure as possible but how easy is it to do??? and more importantly how much brain ache am i giving myself?
