| | Vista SP2 and virus alerts - any ideas? I recently tried to update Vista through windows update but it failed. I got 2 Trojan Heuristic virus messages from Bullguard during the update and then the failure. ANY help on this? The Bullguard log indicates the following: 2009/05/27 21:44:29 | C:\Windows\winsxs\Temp\PendingRenames\56ecb77ec0dec901c418000074101401.x86_microsoft-windows-s..ive-blackbox-driver_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_0b5dfb3fa4f88147_spsys.sys_95b9c9e3 [BLOCKED] [process: 4212.C:\Windows\servicing\TrustedInstaller.exe] [user: N/A] [virus: Gen:Trojan.Heur.9242BD4242] [op: CLOSE] 2009/05/27 21:44:29 | C:\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames\56ecb77ec0dec901c418000074101401.x86_microsoft-windows-s..ive-blackbox-driver_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_0b5dfb3fa4f88147_spsys.sys_95b9c9e3 [AUTO BLOCKED] [process: 4212.C:\Windows\servicing\TrustedInstaller.exe] [user: N/A] [op: OPEN] 2009/05/27 21:44:29 | C:\Windows\WinSxS\Temp\PendingRenames\56ecb77ec0dec901c418000074101401.x86_microsoft-windows-s..ive-blackbox-driver_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_0b5dfb3fa4f88147_spsys.sys_95b9c9e3 [AUTO BLOCKED] [process: 4212.C:\Windows\servicing\TrustedInstaller.exe] [user: N/A] [op: OPEN] Cheers, Zeki |

| | Re: Vista SP2 and virus alerts - any ideas? I wasn't asked to disable my anti virus and it's not too useful to do so for any length of time whilst broadband connect remains open during the install. Even now after 30 minutes since the failure I get pop up windows from Bullguard telling me about the stopping of the malware - at east 30 so far. I can't believe that that is supposed to be happening. I am waiting for Bullguard to give me confirmation of a false positive - then I might deactivate the AV and retry updating but I not happy that I have to do that to get an update. Many thanks.

If you are behind a router there is no need to do this. Completely disable your antivirus and any other third-party anti-malware programs. Then install SP2. If you have prepared properly, you should have no problems. Here is an article I wrote for my clients about preparing for SP2 which may be useful to you: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page3.html#5-9-09 Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

| | Re: Vista SP2 and virus alerts - any ideas? Many thanks for all of your help. Bullguard recommended a removal of their v7 for vista product and an installation of v8.5. This version identified the files previously mentioned as malware and isolated them. Strangely enough the Microsoft updater didn't show SP2 and said it wasn't necessary! So all sorted out but 4 hours down the track...that's Vista and the catchup of support programs I guess...

The reason I ask is because back when I switched to DSL I foolishly followed the Verizon installation CD's advice to shut down my security programs when it came time to go to the VZ site to finish setting up. As soon as it was done - no more than 2 minutes - I immediately powered down the modem and rebooted. In those 2 minutes of unprotected time online I got zapped with malware that took a week of work and two new security programs to eradicate. Now, whenever I do an install that insists that I shut down the security apps, I first ignore that and plow ahead. Most of the time the installation works perfectly. They always tell you to turn off security because there will be one or two security suites that don't play well with installing their application - even though the vast majority will work fine. IMO this is reckless and irresponsible advice intended to ward off the handful of complaints from users of the handful of security suites that do interfere with installation. Everyone else is asked to go unprotected and open to attacks just for the sake of preventing a few complaints and support requests. If the install fails with security still running, I power off the modem, THEN shut down the security, do the install, reload the security stuff (the install may require a reboot, which resets the security anyway), and then get back online. I still do this even though I've added a router, on the assumption that absolutely nothing can get past an unpowered modem. (If anyone knows anything to the contrary, please let me know that my modem power-down "security blanket" has holes in it! If need be, I'll unplug the Ethernet cable instead.) |
