Help please installed DSA and;

I have just installed Dynamic security agent and according to spybot's startup list dsa.exe is malware.Also there is another startup item installed with DSA ,which is blank.Is there an explanation?

 

I also installed DSA, no icon anywhere, not in the menu "All Programs".
I did a reboot and what was invisible is now removed.
I don't need such softwares on my computer.

 

@cet- where did you download DSA from? The *offical site* is HERE.

I use DSA...

*The only 2 DSA processes listed by Autoruns as "startup" are dsa.exe, & pfsvc.exe

*The only DSA process listed as "running" by Process Explorer is dsa.exe

*The only DSA files are those in the screenshot below.

I hope this helps. If not, please send a support ticket to DSA support at THIS link. They are VERY respnsive.

 

In fact, some components of DSA are running hidden, as its dll for example (pfproc.dll in System32, and it's driver, don't remember its filename), it is made on a purpose, to prevent remote-shutdown by malwares. (Same way, it's process is sometimes seen as hidden by rootkit detectors).

In fact it works, the 1st rootkit I talked about in the PG thread wasn't able to unhook all DSA's own NTfunctions hooks, thanks to that protection .

 

LS,

Antivir also used to flag pfproc.dll. The latest release of Antivir seems to know it is security software.
