Have you tried a different name for your installer?

Windows Defender

Feather — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:01:31 GMT

You're mowst welcome, Feather. Yes, AVG 9 contains
> Basic antivirus and antispyware protection for Windows
and it's shutting off Defender, which is what it's supposed to do.

Windows Defender is automatically turned off during installation
http://www.avg.com/us-en/faq.num-2672#faq_2672

" During the installation of AVG 9.0 products, the Microsoft Windows
Defender application will be automatically turned off.

Windows Defender is not removed from the computer, only disabled for the
time AVG is installed.

Please note that this is important to prevent conflicts between AVG and
Windows Defender. As they are both security applications, they will try
to check files you are working with. Since they will do that at the same
time, conflicts may arise. These can cause freezing, crashes or slowdown
of computer. It is generally not recommend to use more than one security
product on one computer. "

Actually, one can use more than one security product on the same
computer BUT only *one* of should be actively monitoring the system
(aka RealTime Protection).

So, if you want to manually update Defender so it can be used to *scan*
the system IF a malware issue arises, you can get it's latest definiton
file from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/po...tions/ADL.aspx

getting an error message at this screen saying "A specified logon
session doesnot exist. It may already have been terminated." I have no
issues for setting up a shedules task that run under the local
administrator login if the administrator is logged in. But i need to run
the task even if no body logon to the computer. Can any one help me ???

FYI: I am using SyncToy for folder synchronozation and i am looking

Petrarch,

I'm sorry to hear that you had to format the drive to get rid of that
file.

Without knowing exactly what malware was found (and where), we will have
no way of knowing how it got in. A typical way to get in is to trick the
user into allowing it (either through the web browser, chat client, or
e-mail program). I would more easily believe that an update to the
antimalware is responsible for increased detections - or that you have
been getting more exposure than before (which couild be related to a new
e-mail address).

I have installed the machine and I'm the only administrator of the
system. No third party packet filters nor IPsec policies are installed
or active. FYI, ICMP echo request and replies flow normally.

I found the same complaint on web
(http://www.vistax64.com/vista-securi...-requests.html), but without solution.

Can anybody at least confirm that it's a bug/feature of Windows Vista?
(I don't have any other system to compare it.)

REGISTRY MECHANIC....Maniac!!

It's probably all Registry Mechanic's fault. If possible, undo
everything it's done. If you can't do that, it's possible that you may
not have any other recourse than reinstalling Windows from scratch.

Get rid of Registry Mechanic. It, and all other programs like it, are
junk, useless at best, and dangerous at worst. Here's my standard
message on the subject of registry cleaners:

Registry cleaning programs are *all* snake oil. Cleaning of the
registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and
don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,
having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

"DT GWY" in my Startup Item

Octavio — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:55:24 GMT

First, using google to look up a start-up item will get you many
HiJackThis logs as a return. Since many people post HJT logs as a result
of trying to clear a malware infestation, you will start thinking that
this startup item is related to the malware that they are trying to rid
themselves of. HJT logs list what is there, and makes no judgement calls
(that is left to the analysts, and is the reason for that program being
so useful).

I could make a guess that this is a legitimate startup item, but it
would be best to submit the executable referenced to further scrutiny by
using Virustotal or Jotti online submission scanning.

Run DLL, Module not Found, C:\USER\dc54~1\aPPdATA\Local\Temp\iifdefda.dll

Alon civier — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:04:19 GMT

You're seeing the signs of an infection.
Suggest you download and *save* Malwarebytes Anti-malware:
http://www.malwarebytes.org

Click the Download free version button.
Once the download completes close all open programs and browsers.
Install MBAM (mbam-setup.exe) with the system connected to the internet.
Allow it to update it's definitions during it's installation process.
Once MBAM is installed it should open automatically, if not, please open it.

Put a mark next to Quick scan and then click the Scan button.
When the scan is done click the Show results button.
Make sure everything that was detected is checked and then click the
Remove selected button.

Please post the MBAM log. If nothing was detected, please let us know.
The log is located at

Users\\AppData\Roaming\Malwarebytes\M alwarebytes'
Anti-Malware\Logs

It can also be accessed from within MBAM. Just click the Logs tab after
you open it.

can not access shared drive with VPN

Dooma — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:47:40 GMT

I have a vista computer and windows 2003 network. When I run the vpn wizard
on my vista computer it connects to the network. I can ping all of my
servers ( I have added all servers and their IP addresses to the hosts
file). When I try to access any shared drive using the ip address or netbois
name it times out on me. I did the same setup on my other windows 7 computer
and I was able to access all shared drives.

I thought it might be my Norton 360 so I disabled it. Still no cigar. I
re-installed the vpn wizard but still no cigar. I am sure the problem the
problem is with the vista machine and NOT the network. Any suggestions.

Thanks,
