daKlone Report post Posted November 21, 2010 Hi All, I wonder if anyone is aware of a new (appeared on my system yesterday) strangely named .com (MSDOS program) that might be part of SUPERAntiSpyware? It's name is in the format LNLNLNLN-LNLN-NLNL-NNLN-NNNNNNNLNLNN (L=letter, N=number). I'd like to know if it is a proper part of the program or something I should be worried about. Thanks, dK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, dK Did you start SAS via the SuperAntiSpyware Alternate Start icon? This causes SAS to create a random name so that it will not be recognized by malware. What version of SAS are you running and what is your Windows Operating System and is it 32-bit or 64-bit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Siliconman, Good call, I do remember starting the program from the Alternative Start icon. Running SAS 4.45.1000 on WinXP SP3 32-bit. Thanks, dK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siliconman01 Report post Posted November 22, 2010 You can just delete that "strange .com" file. A new one is created on each Alternate Start use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

siliconman01 Report post Posted November 22, 2010 Will CCleaner remove it? No, I doubt it because it is not classified as a temp file and is not included in the filekeys for SuperAntiSpyware in winapp2.ini. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I guess it will have to stay there because when I read your reply to the OP, I just had to try the Alternate Start for myself and it is a very Good Feature that he included in his Application. That was a Smart Move,Tom. It launched and apparently closed the one that runs at Start-up on my machine here. So,I studied it for a while. He should call it, " Stealth Mode Start-up "..
