Mudd Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Have Vista OS. Just now ZA window popup wants to have internet access for "Windows SQM Consolidator" and I refused as I don't have the any idea what that is. Searched Google and found nothing that I can use. Would someone help, or even guess on this? M Mudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudd Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Been there, seems MS doesn't know. Searched and no result. If you have something I didn't find send me the reference please. Mudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 25, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2007 Try to find the .exe file it's for, then right click the .exe file and look at the properties, version, etc., as that may give you some info on what it's for. Hopefully it isn't the mess of crap like on XP that all comes from svchost.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 May be related to Messenger? Link to links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted August 25, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2007 In XP, Humpty's correct. I always find them after my daughters used Live Messenger, and I always delete them. For some reason known only to ms, they're always hidden straight in C:, not even put in a folder. Have no idea what a consolidator is though. EDIT: They are now ex SQM files.

Mudd Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm using Vista Home Premium and my file system is nothing like the attachment shows. I don't have messenger installed. I found something that I thought was the answer until I looked closely and saw the letters weren't the same, (see atch). Not going to worry about it. Vista itself is enough to worry without something else. Mudd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I always find them after my daughters used Live Messenger, and I always delete them. Thanks for the info Dennis. As I never see those SQM files here as I don't have messenger I have seen them heaps of times on other PC's that I have worked on and didn't know what they were. May be worth an extra Winapp entry in CCleaner to get rid of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudd Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share Posted August 25, 2007 Found this info in ZA Log. The DNS wanting to connect for the Windows SQM Consolidator was 216.38.80.20. Whois search indicated that "NATIONAL-WEATHER-SERVICE-SRARCHIVEIIREQ" was the culprit! Have received two more requests since I posted the first time. Also found this: "C:\system32/wsqmcons 11/2/2006 7:34AM Application 179KB" Could not open it. And it still doesn't matter to me who or what. I've got it blocked.

Moderators DennisD Posted August 25, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2007 I knew I'd seen this before: "Customer Experience Enhancement Program". There's a link to Tech Support Guy on that forum page, which might be useful. Edit: Changed link slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
