siliconman01, thanks for all the help with this ! did the deed with winpatrol - and all id fine still. thanks again and sorry for not having wrote back sooner but ive been up to my neck ( almost literally with snow ! lolol )
-
hi again siliconman01, i was thinking of disabling it with winpatrol - it shows up under "start up programs" when i enable "display secret start up locations" at the bottom of the picture that i attached youll see that theres the option for me to disable it .... - Do you consider this okay or suggest another (better) way ?? you mentioned Hijackthis - i dont know anything about that, but ill try to have a look around to see if i can learn more, or maybe you can advise. ill standby .... i attached the pic for you to see. EDIT: i just learned how hijackthis can help remove it - i will still standby and wait to hear back from you. if you suggest that i use hijackthis, then ill download and install it to perform the task at hand - from what i learned its a pretty good tool to keep on-board anyways.
-
got it. so, ill remove it. do you think i should un-install / download again, and reinstall again (SAS)..... where should i check to know that the new installer is out ?
-
sorry for the delay in replying .... so im a bit confused now and unsure as how to proceed. @ SUPERAntiSpy & siliconman01, are you saying that it shouuld not be running at start-up as well as not even showing up ? sorry if the question is dumb - but i wasnt sure what you meant by a "handler" so i dont know for sure what to make of what you guys are saying. thanks guys! too cool!
-
gotya SUPERAntiSpy .... thanks for the feedback ive been checking the thread for days ..... you mentioned XP but ill assume its just the same for Vista, right. thanks again - much appreciated.
-
hi all - i tried looking around in the forum about this and i did see a few threads where it was mentioned BUT i dont know if the people that inquired about it were running a paid version (which i might understand, then the first chance prevention) .... im running the FREE version and wanted to know if this item should indeed be running at system start-up ?

Does SAS have to start at startup to enable schedule scan?
sammy replied to sammy's topic in General Questions
hi exile360 , yup - i gotya.... thanks again for jump'n back in .... i decided to stay wi th free version (for now anyways) and just run the updates and scans manually. and yup, i caught on to that when i was just about to finish scheduling the task .... i said to myself "what the heck am i doing.... im only gonna launch the program if i do that"! duh! i might actually invest in the pro version later though. thanks again for the feedback - much appreciated. also - thanks for clearing that up about the definitions - i really kept on wondering about that too. thanks again! -
Scheduling a superantispyware scan w/ Task Scheduler?
sammy replied to sammy's topic in General Questions
siliconman01 - thanks, once again ! i guess i might have to save up for the pro then. thanks so much for your feedback. how does one close a thread ? -
hi all - im sorry if this is in the wrong place but i finally ran my first scan with SAS free. when done this was detected: trojan.agent/Gen-Nullo [Micro]. there was a + next to it that when clicked showed another two items - one of them being c:\windows\system32\system (i cant remember the other) should i remove and quarintine these? will my computer still work if i remove and quarentine c:\windows\system32\system ? heres a view ... i removed and quarantined - all is okay.
-
hi all .... was going through the motions in task scheduler but i stopped short of the end cause im under the impression that the task would actually only LAUNCH the program as opposed to running the scan that im aiming for. i know im overlooking something but im stumped. id like to be able to do this with the free version if possible and avoid acquiring the full which i wont make much use of.

@exile360 ... talk to me - you just left me h a n g i n g.... tell me / please explain... thanks for chiming in - of course. I jUst thought of something - if i wouldnt be taking advantage of the "real time" and not having it start with Windows, most of the time anyway ..... would i just be wasting money unnecessarily to upgrade OR are the defintions different. i mean i understand that the pro would have more features - and thats great but are the protection definitions the same? thanks again guys ! -

@siliconman01, thanks for clearing that up.... of course it makes perfect sense. i guess it was just wishful thinking on my part. i guess you saw where i was coming from with that - because i noticed that you said that i wouldnt be able to pull it off with task scheduler either .... -

hi all - im trying to find out weather i can upgrade to the full version and NOT have it working in "real time" OR NOT have it start up with Windows .... can i still schedule it to start scanning at a certain day & time ? there will be times when i might choose to allow it to start with Windows and have it working in "real time" but for the most part - not. thanks all in advance.
