    When i want to run TDS3 the following messages appear on my screen:
    c:\tds3\xdynamic\tds.cfg\scanctrl.cfg was missing but has been restored by DCS file protection system
    c:\tds3\xdynamic\tds.cfg\sockets.cfg was missing but has been restored by DCS file protection system
    c:\tds3\xdynamic\tds.cfg\sockopt.cfg was missing but has been restored by DCS file protection system
    c:\tds3\xdynamic\tds.cfg\crcfiles.txt was missing but has been restored by DCS file protection system
    c:\tds3\tds3.kf was missing but has been restored by DCS file protection system
    Each message has an OK button to let it disappear.
    After that the TDS screen appears and the same sequence follows!
    Pressing OK let the messages disappear and then TDS3 runs without giving any alerts!

    In my virusscanner the following message shows up:25-6-2003,13:03 WARNING: AVGuard detected a problem in the file
    C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\USER01\APPLICATION DATA\MICROSOFT\PROTECT\S-1-5-21-1390067357-1957994488-854245398-1003\PREFERRED

    I tried a few times to start TDS3 but everytime the described procedure follows.
    What's wrong here?

    Hi Hendricus,

    Please go to http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/, and download 'Hijack This!'.
    Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
    Be sure to get the latest version (1.95) since that also lists running processes.

    When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
    Press that, save the log as a .txt file, and copy and paste its contents into your next post.

    Most of what it lists will be harmless, so do not fix anything yet.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hi Hendricus,

    I don't see anything wrong in your log.
    Since I can't tell you what the TDS files are for, I'm moving this thread to their dedicated forum.

    Help is on it's way. ;)

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Thnx, Pieter! I know help is on it's way!
    Some supplementary info: Housecall and Spybot did find nothing, AdAware showed the following message:AVGuard detected the virus c:\docume~1\user1\locals~1\temp\16491753251 in file the trojan horse TR/Aphex.030B.
    All this mess started with an update for Antivir. Could it be possible that.... :p

    That netbus emulator is one of the plugins of TDS and in no way the netbus server or other infection.
    The other files are systemfiles and even your keyfile (!!!) for TDS and very valid.
    You better alert Antivir for their false positives, for which alert they should be really grateful.

    Hi Hendricus,

    You mean during an AdAware scan this message from AV came up?
    It should give you no problems to completely clean out your Temp folder.
    It is certainly worth a try. Boot into safe mode, empty the Temp folder and see if all goes well.
    Maybe you will have the same routine once more, because TDS has to recover his files.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    @ Jooske
    Hi, I will certainly inform Antivir about this!
    But[blush]what exactly is that netbus emulator you mentioned?[unblush].
    Since the message stated:....was missing but has been restored by DCS file protection system, I wonder how these files and the keyfile will be put back?
    @ Pieter
    Hi, I will do this a few times to see what happens.

    Both of you thnx for now.

    Hi Hendricus,

    I'm sorry, I was unclear. I didn't mean you had to clean out the Temp folder several times. All I ment to say was clean out the temp file and the next time you start TDS you will have to go through that routine of recovering files again. (Hopefully only once)

    Regards,

    Pieter

    You might prefer to go back to the former Antivir database as well if possible.
    Clean all caches, IE caches, all that.
    System restore? if it continues, disable that, reboot, see if all is clean and enable system restore and make manually a new restore point.
    The keyfile you might have to find back in your registration email and put it back in TDS.
    If not found back, email DCS and they'll send you a new one.
    If still troubling you, you might like to uninstall and reinstall TDS from a fresh d/l (don't forget to grab separately the scripts then!) --if you didn't recently get the last TDS update with very small fixes, not really worth the trouble if TDS is working fine and you can live without the F5 jumping you in the DCS forums.

    Heya, wait a moment, why all the trouble if you have system restore, back to before yesterday should bring you back in the "clean" situation, wouldn't it?

    hihihi 4 dutchies here, all writing english... :D

    @ Dollefie:
    Hi, is that nbsrvem.exespace/install ?

    @ Pieter,
    Hi, I twice scanned with antivir and it shows no virus alerts anymore.
    Removing thec temp folder didn't change anything, I still got these messages popping up.

    @ Jooske,
    Hi, I thought about a system restore. Wait and see what happens

    Jooske, I think your way using system restore will be the best idea whilst Hendricus should also inform the av vendor about a possible false positive.

    BTW I'm English and appear to write double dutch! :eek:

    What kept you so long to jump in, Alan?

    Teach me that DD please! :p
    Heineken, Amstel, Grolsch, Brand, Bavaria, all single names :(
    Not that i drink it.

    That nbsvrem.exe needs to be installed
    From the TDS Helpfile
    "NOTE: The plugin has to be initially installed. Go to MS-DOS prompt then go to the Plugins directory.
    type in:
    nbsrvem.exe /install"

    Well, for the first time since I installed XP Pro it refuses to perform a system restore.
    I,m going to do the following: Uninstall and reinstall TDS3, uninstall antivir and not reinstall it ( install AVG or avast!4 instead) and inform Antivir.

    On our nice dutch helpdesk helpmij.nl we often state that stupid questions don't exist. Well here i try one: how do i do this: "NOTE: The plugin has to be initially installed. Go to MS-DOS prompt then go to the Plugins directory.
    type in:
    nbsrvem.exe /install" .

    Start > Run (Uitvoeren) > cmd > Enter
    CD \Program Files\TDS (or whatever location you have) > Enter
    CD Ext.Plug > Enter
    nbsrvem.exe /install > Enter
    QUIT > Enter

    Not nice!
    Or was it installed already?
    Maybe it works well from
    windows START > run (uitvoeren) >
    search for (bladeren) TDS3 > Ext.plug > nbsvrem.exe > open > behind what you'll now have in the path
    type /install so you get
    c:\tds3\ext.plug\nbsvrem.exe /install
    OK
    Hope it works then.

    Btw Jooske, the file itself is called nbsrvem :)

    I uninstalled and reinstalled tds3.
    I uninstalled Antivir and installed Grisoft AVG.
    Both succesfully.
    The problems described earlier have disappeared.
    I thank you all for your support. Till next time.

    Is it that simple?
    The Antivir crew admits that in the vdf version 6200016 a false positive (ein Fehlalarm) was active.The newest vdf version 6201018 succesfully dealt with that problem, so they say.
    That's good to know, but I'll stick to Grisoft ;)
