TrojanHunter Guard operation

Ikeb · Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2004 1:59 am Post subject: TrojanHunter Guard operation

I admit not having paid attention to TrojanHunter for a while but I now notice that TrojanHunter Guard (process THGuard.exe) is spiking my computer's CPU usage to about 30% (dual 1MHz PIII) every 10 sec. What's up with that?

BTW, I notice there's no icon in the system tray thus no GUI is accessable. When I initiate TrojanHunter Guard via the Start menu, an icon does appear at the system tray and a second THGuard.exe process starts but when I click on the icon, it diappears. Confused

I'm way past my 30 day evaluation period having neglected to properly evaluate the program it seems. Embarassed

If I can get some assurance that the TrojanHunter Guard operation as I describe it above is due to the 30 day trial expiry, I'll purchase my license. The program did prove useful when I first installed it to get rid of some trojans.

Hi Ikeb,

Which version of TH are you using?

The CPU spike suggests an older version, Magnus has put in a lot of work reducing this in more recent versions. I would also think that the absence of a systray icon probably IS related to your trial period having expired. If you can specify the version of TH, that would help. Also, remember that upgrades to a later version are free to registered users.

Thanks for jumping in Maxqnz.

It's always a great pleasure to see you around Very Happy

Dunno about that. Maxqnz seems quite intimidating.... Wink

I "evaluated" version 3.7.

Oh, and that's a dual 1GHz PIII. So I slipped a few decimal points... Shocked

Well, if I'm that intimidating, you better listen to me when I tell you that you should pay Magnus the money and upgrade to 3.85! Very Happy

Seriously, the support for registered users is outstanding, as claire, Jamming Ian and others here can testify, and if Jamming and I agree on ANYTHING, it must be true.

I second Maxqnz on EVERYTHING is stated in his reply. Smile

If I may ... I asked if the symptoms I'm experiencing are due to the expired evaluation and I haven't had a clear answer to that.

At the risk of having that mask put a hex on me ... I feel that there is some clarity missing based on two key words in your response -- "probably" and "older versions". You did ask me what version I have but after I told you, you haven't given me any confirmation that the two key words could be replaced with others giving me better certainty that the symptoms are indeed due to the expired version currently installed.

Yes indeed! Thanks for the info maxqnz ... and not putting the hex on me! Peeking/Lurking

Well it seems something put the hex on my system, 'cause I just noticed that the THGuard icon isn't showing in my system tray again, but THGuard.exe is a running process (as expected, since I had ticked the "Load at Startup" checkbox). Yes I did upgrade to 3.85. And no I this isn't an XP system, it's Win2K AS. All my other icons show up so what's up with this? How do I control TH without the icon?

Edit: I tried starting TH Guard from the Start menu and I don't get the "Another THGuard instance is already running" error msg. Instead the THGuard icon shows up at the system tray. So what's going on here? Was I running without THGuard being active? I haven't been watching for this icon but come to think of it I haven't noticed it being there in the last while....
