TrendMicro kicks to desktop...virus?
« on: February 15, 2007, 07:09:38 PM »
I'm running Avast full time but every once in a while I disable it while runnning an online TrendMicro scan.

Trend starts to scan and then somewhere in the temporary files it kicks to desktop, shutting down the browser. It does this in normal or safe modes; that makes no difference.

So, I've been running other various scanners trying to find some reason for that.

Here's a HijackThis log I just did after running a couple of scans in safe mode.

Anyone here see anything that might be a problem? I"ve bolded the ones that I don't recognize as anything I might have loaded.

Well, I didn't have all those installed when the TrendMicro was barfing. I only had Avast then and I had it shut down.

See any strange entries that might be a lurking invader?

Thanks for taking a look, btw.

i didnt notice anything that looks like a baddie there ... but there could be one masked as one of the av's ...  

but remember you can only have one AV program scanning (enabled) at one time or you can get a software conflict .

the best way to scan is to start up in Safe mode and scan from there if you suspect theres a virus.

Todd,
I used to use TrendMicro, and using the Java based version, it started doing the same thing, and then using the active-x kernel for Internet Explorer it began doing that, I since have switched to  NOD32 and also Spybot.........I have the free version of AVG, but it is not loaded since I have been able to get NOD32 to work in both IE and Netscape 7.2  ( I use NS7.2 for email and it checks both coming and going emails.........

All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

guys historically avast and avg are very poor performers. Investing a little $$$ in a decent bit of software will save you a lot of time and headaches. NOD32 seems to be the pick at the moment (I sell mcafee for a living so theres I'm not being biased!).

Vulcan, you sell McAfee?  Oh man, I am so sorry.  :)

I steer everyone I can away from Symantec and McAfee products.  Those applications have gotten to the point they are worse than the viruses they are supposed to protect your computer from.

I hate having to try and help people who are having problems with the game that run those applications.  It is sooooo painful.

Symantec is a huge resource hog.  I'm no fan of McAfee but between the two, Id go Symantec.

What else is out there that you do suggest?  Because I've read/researched all of these things...and its a crapshoot as to who scores best.  Whoever is top today isnt next month, etc.

Its one of the security products I do. But I sell/run corporate which is vastly different to the home user version (home user version uses .net which just blows chunks). Plus I don't 'sell' the AV stuff, I'm more focussed in the IDP products (hardware and software). field.
