TripodBob Posted March 30, 2014 ID:810631 Share Posted March 30, 2014 One day's scanning history log shows chameleon enabled; another day's scanning history shows chameleon disabled.Did I disable it? If so, how? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted March 30, 2014 ID:810634 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Do you have self-protection enabled? If so, do you have the option for self-protection early start disabled? If so, then that could be why. It's possible that if one of your scheduled scans launches when the computer boots up, that it starts prior to self-protection (Chameleon's driver) starting up, thus resulting in the log indicating that Chameleon is not active since it hasn't started yet. If that is the case, then it's nothing to be alarmed about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripodBob Posted March 30, 2014 Author ID:810650 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Self-protection is not enabled; so if I understand correctly that's why the log shows chameleon is disabled. Don't remember checking the box for self-protection but I must have if one of my logs shows chameleon enabled on that day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted March 30, 2014 ID:810710 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Yes, if self-protection is enabled, then it will list Chameleon as being on (it is listing the status of the self-protection driver, which is part of Chameleon). Also, if you used Chameleon to run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, that also turns the self-protection driver on temporarily, so that may be the reason it showed it as being enabled in one of your scan logs.
