The problem with FileKey4 (FileKey4=%ProgramFiles%\ewido anti-spyware 4.0\reports|*.txt) is that in Ewido 4.0 it only creates a report if malware is found (that's the default setting anyways). Therefore if someone is letting it automatically scan via the scheduler they would only know from the main screen that something was removed, but since the scan log would be deleted they wouldn't know what/where the infection was that Ewido got rid of.
Andavari,
Very good point, I will delete that key right away. And here I thought I had gotten smart.
Again Thanks,
Normandie

...sent MrG a separate cleaning entry just for Ewido Anti-Spyware.
I know of that location and such, however it's one of those if'y things of do we delete it or don't we? MrG should see this thread because I made reference to it in the PM, so if he wants FileKey4 in there it's up to him since it is after all his program.
Andavari,
I ended up putting the new stuff in winapp2.ini and leaving the original alone. Think for now that will be better.
Thanks for all the help,
Normandie

Yeah, I noticed that new regkey in the registry so perhaps I goofed in sending the updated winapp.ini entry to MrG this early because I have both of these in the registry (mind you I didn't do a thorough cleaning of v3.5 I just uninstalled it and rebooted):
HKLM\Software\ewido
HKLM\Software\ewido anti-spyware
Andavari,
I also just realized that there is another key needed:
FileKey4=%ProgramFiles%\ewido anti-spyware 4.0\reports|*.txt
This is where the new version stores all of it's scan reports so I figured that could get out of hand so I tried to add this key and it works great.
In fact I am begginning to wonder if the FileKey 1 & 2 are even need for the new version, since the regkey has changed. Wonder if there needs to be 2 separate entries for ewido, 1 for version 3.5 and another for version 4.
Thanks again you put me on the right track,
Normandie

Open winapp.ini (not winapp2.ini) and search for Ewido, then paste this as the last line:
FileKey3=%ProgramFiles%\ewido anti-spyware 4.0|logfile.txt
It should now look like this when finished:
[Ewido Anti-Malware (Log)]
LangSecRef=3024
Detect=HKLM\Software\ewido
Default=True
FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\Ewido\Security Suite|logfile.txt
FileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\Ewido Anti-Malware|logfile.txt
FileKey3=%ProgramFiles%\ewido anti-spyware 4.0|logfile.txt
Andavari,
I finally figured it out. The line:
Detect=HKLM\Software\ewido
needs to be:
Detect=HKLM\Software\ewido anti-spyware
I looked in the registry and it is no longer listed as just "ewido", but but "ewido anti-spyware"
Once I made that change it shows up again.
Thanks for all your help,

Andavari,
Here is all that I have done, I will try to put them in order so that they make sense:
1. I had Ewido 3.5 installed. At this point it was listed with CCleaner.
2. I uninstalled ewido 3.5
3. Ran CCleaner to get rid of the trash.
4. Opened the registry with regedit, looked for all references to "ewido" and deleted them. I wanted to make sure when I installed version 4 that there were no left overs that would cause problems.
5. At this point it was no longer listed in CCleaner
6. Installed ewido 4.0 and it is of course still not listed in CCleaner.
7. I added the line you mentioned above, still not listed in CCleaner.
8. Looked in the registry and under "options" for CCleaner I see all my apps with either a "ture" or "false" but ewido is not there.
9. Uninstalled CCleaner, reinstalled CCleaner. Repeted Steps 7 & 8 same result.
I guess I tried to be toooo thorough and careful and I have caused myself problems.
Not sure if any of this will help to solve the problem, but at least here it is.
Thanks again,
Normandie

Andavari,
Thanks so very much I tried what you said, still did not show up in the list of applications, so I took a chance and looked in the registry with regedit and found the CCleaner options and all the apps were listed there with their value of "true" or "flase" but "ewido", it was not there at all. I do not know how to add it so I have done nothing else so far.
I tried an uninstall and reinstall of CCleaner and the vlaues for ewido were still not in the registry.
Thanks,
Normandie

The ini files need to be updated is all.
I am affraid to attempt that, is there a code that I can add to the winapp2.ini file and if so what would that be? As I said that is beyond my league.
Thanks,
Normandie

I even tried a reinstall of CCleaner and that did not change anything either, not sure what to do at this point, just wait and see.

Cannot see how you could have made that big of a mistake!! I have the plus version by the way. We will wait and see if others on the forum have it listed in applications
Maybe, I was tooooo thorough, which I doubt, but things do happen
oh well, I guess I will live if it does not clean out the ewido files 
Have a good day,

Hello Normandie,
Just had a look and my ewido is listed under untilities in applications,, but as anti-malware. ( I did uninstall 3.5 first and use ccleaner issues)
As you know it's now ewido ant-spyware, so I'm not sure which one is listed in mine!
hazelnut,
I had 3.5 installed and it showed up under applications. Before I installed 4.0 (anti-spyware), I uninstalled 3.5 & I ran CCleaner and deleted all references and then (maybe I was dumb, this happens to me
) I went into the registry and deleted all references to ewido 3.5, (I am sometimes to thorough) then installed 4.0 and it does not show up now in CCleaner. Of course all the directories are different now that it is 4.0 anti-spayware. Don't know if that is the reason or I just made a really BIG mistake.Thanks for the response & have a good day,
Normandie

Just upgraded to Ewido 4.0 and it no longer shows in the application part of CCleaner (version 1.30.310). Does this need an upgrade? or is there a way to add it?
Thanks,
Normandie

If you're on WinXP try this:
- Start -> Run -> Type in: services.msc
- Scroll down to: ewido anti-spyware 4.0 guard
right click it and select Properties
- Change the Startup type to Manual or Disabled.
Also there's actually a few antivirus scanners that can only be disabled via services.msc on WinXP.
Andavari,
Thanks a lot, this will work out fine. I appreciate you taking the time to help.
Have a great day,

So will I. What I meant was is there any functionality lost by upgrding from the old FREE version to the new free version?
JDPower,
I don't know about the functionality, but if you keep 3.5 it won't update now, at least I have not been able to do it since this morning. It says "no update available". I have been following a thread at Wilder's that talks about this and it has been my experience too. I finally found this link at the Wilder's forum where you can download the updates:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/updates/
The thread at Wilder's is at:
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=135997
I installed version 4 and did like it until I noticed that it actvated "guard" without me wanting it, I wanted to stick with the free version. I clicked on "deactivate" and it said that it was deactivatd, but at each startup it is loaded even if it is not active. I tried all the things I know, MSCONFIG, registry edit, nothing worked. i uninstalled it and for some reason reinstalled it and it came up "free version", but "guard" was still active in the processes. This bothers me just a little, so I guess I will go back to 3.5 and have to go looking for the updates manually.
Have a good day,

i looked in the add/remove part of the control panel and its not there to remove it. i delete the contents in the folder and they just reappear. im trying to delete it so i can put music on my MP3 player and it works fine just dragging them but you cant do that if you have WMP installed
I may not understand all you are wanting to do, but if you are trying to uninstall WMP I found instructions here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...stallation.mspx
It says there the following:
Q. How do I uninstall the Player?
A.
Windows Media Player is a feature of the Windows operating system and cannot be removed entirely. However, depending upon which version of the Player and Windows that you are using, you might be able to roll back to the version of the Player that was previously on your computer. The procedure varies depending upon which version of the Player you are running.
Windows Media Player 10
If you have installed Windows Media Player 10, you can roll back to the version of the Player that was on your computer before installation by doing the following:
1. In Category View of Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs.
2. Click Remove a program, and then do one of the following:
? If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2, at the top of the list, select the Show updates check box, in the Windows Updates section, click Windows Media Player 10, and then click Change/Remove.
? If you are running Windows XP Service Pack 1 or earlier, click Windows Media Player 10, and then click Change/Remove.
You can also use System Restore to roll back to the previous version of the Player. For more information about System Restore, see Use System Restore to Undo Changes if Problems Occur.
I don't know if this will help you or not.
Have a good day,

P.S. If this is not what you were looking for please disreguard this post.

Yes it is possible and relatively simple once you get your head around the basics of the userChrome file. Click the link and go to the Chrome section and it gives a basic idea of how to use it and a great list of modifications you can add to the userChrome file to change the look of Firefox:

Did a search of Mozilla forum and found your post with plenty of help so you shouldn't have any trouble getting it sorted (you'll get far more help there but thought the above link was useful enough to post).
JDPower,
Thanks for the help, yes I posted both places, hoping for an answer, the one's on the Mozilla forum did the trick, but I like you post, because it can show me how to know what is gong on in the chrome files.
Thanks & have a good day,

Is it possible & if so how do I change the color of the background of the bookmarks window when it is on the side? My eyes are not what they used to be and sometimes after clicking on a bookmark it is difficult to see which one I clicked on in the sidebar.
Thanks for the help in advance & have a good day,

Well, since there was so much debate on this I decided to try both. I had adblock+ installed on my machine and so I uninstalled it and installed adblock. I can say that it definetly loads pages a whole lot faster now with adblock than with adblock+, there are a few things I miss like being able to right click on the icon to get options and deactivate it if needed, but the speed difference is amazing. So far adblock seems to be running correctly and I will see what happens in the next few days.
Have a good day,
Normandie

I don't know what is the best now, with all of this, Adblock or Adblock+, what is the big difference? Why one over the other?
Thanks,

I deleted it.
I was going to start a firefox theme topic but I thought about it and decided to wait.

Well, I am glad I am not going Crazy
. I love the Button Pack, it is really great!!! Thanks so much for puttting the links back!!!Have a good day,

I may be crazy, but I was sure I saw a post from rridgely this morning with 2 links, 1 to a theme for FF, the other for a button pack extension. I was rused and didn't have time to look into it and now can't find it. Did the post get deleted or did I just dream it up?
Thanks & have a good day,

about:blank is not always bad. It just means nothing has been loaded.(bobber is right).
Doubleclick are adds not spyware. It will put cookies on your pc but thats about it.
Since you using firefox just get adblock with filter set g updater. That should stop the adds completely. In my opininion no script makes surfing unfun because you have to configure it each time you go to a new page.
Adblock
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/morei...ication=firefox
Filter set G
First time you use it manually update it with the update button. make sure you apply the filter as well)
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/morei...ication=firefox
rridgely,
Thanks for the information, I will sleep more peacefully now
I already use adblock & will add the filter G. I do so appreciate you taking time to help out. It is so nice to know that we can count on good answers from people that can help us!!Have a great day,

Well, I gues my question about the isp in France (wanadoo.fr) that shows "doubleclick.net" as wanting to execute javascript is this,
1. Is this a branch or a form of the spyware doubleclick?
2. Is this in your opinion trying to execute something that will harm a computer?
3. Is this in your opinion a form of spyware hidden in a javascript form?
4. Is there reason to worry about this? Why?
I of course never noticted this before using FF with Noscript, I went there often with IE and of course it never shows anything & now I am wondering what this is all about.
Sorry to ask all these questions, but just want to know what to do about this. I have been going to this site for years, have scanned my computer with everything I can find online & offline, it shows clean, so what is the story on this "doubleclick.net"?
Thanks folks,
Normandie

Thanks that is comforting, know anything about the other one "doubleclick.net", I have noticed it on wanadoo.fr, a French ISP.
Thanks,

I just got this extension and after using it for a while, on some sites I go to, such as my hotmail account and suprisingly, a webroot site used to varify your version of Spysweeper, about:blank appears in the list of scripts! I've used every tool known to man to check and see if I have any malware and I'm clean (hopefully!). Can someone else with this extension report back and see if they get about:blank scripts trying to run? Thanks
I have noticed this too and also on some sites "doubleclick.net" shows up wanting to be activated. These concern me but have not found any help yet.
Have a good day,

oh well, I guess I will live if it does not clean out the ewido files 
A question about CCleaner & AVG Plus Firewall
in CCleaner
Posted
I have been using CCleaner for sometime now and love it. I have unchecked AVG because I wasn't sure about what CCleaner is deleting. I have AVG Plus Firewall and I checked the AVG checkbox just to see and it lists almost 30 meg of files. Here are my questions, please don't get upset, I am asking to find out not accuse. I trust CCleaner or I wouldn't be using it. I just like to understand what is being deleted.
1. What are the files that CCleaner is deleting?
2. Is there any chance that AVG will need some of them in the future?
3. I noticed that the email logs are getting really big, are these included in the clean?
4. Anyone have any problems after cleaning AVG?
Thanks in advance & have a good day,
Normandie
