    Hi Jooske,
    I am a registered user of Wormguard but when it activates it is still showing "Evaluation version " at the bottom of the window. Where have I gone wrong?

    Hi Tut, When you open the WG GUI you will see licensed to: your name at the top. The other window has a nit :)

    Hi Pilli,
    Yes the program is registered to me, it is the WARNING window when Wormguard is activated that still says "evaluation version". Glad to hear that is merely a nit.

    I downloaded trial version I think about two years ago, and it still works... o_O Not that I complain about it, but how is it possible?
    Anyway I was praising WormGuard all over the Internet as "must have" program.. Hope you guy's made nice buck with it.. :) :cool:
    P.S if you guy's have problem with it, give me notice, and I will remove it from my system.. :)

    Hi NetTraveler,
    Do you have a file wguard.kf in your WormGuard folder by any chance?
    If so what are it's properties?

    Version 2! Ah well we will have to await DCS's comments on that one.

    If you people need any other input, I'll be glad to help.. :)
    I have question tho.. It happened few times that WG gave warning while opening Word document that I just finished but wanted to change something in text.. It said it was a high risk and had two extentions .doc.doc
    do you have any ideas how it is possible?

    Yes it is possible. If for instance you do a save as in word by default it automatically adds the .doc extension - If you type say word.doc then word could may have added the .doc extension also making word.doc.doc

    Dual extended files such as this are flagged because you could open malware with an unseen extentions such as:

    virus.doc ..............................................................................exe

    Note Extra dots shown as the forum software knocks out the extra spaces. o_O

    Because there are lots of spaces between the .doc and the .exe a user might miss the.exe therefore concluding that the file is just a normal .doc file and not an executable thus opening the file and infecting themselves.

    HTH Pilli :)
