What am I Supposed to do?

When I reboot then click on PG I get this C:windows\System32\ups.exe[920]Tried to modify an existing driver/service named ups. What is it and what am I supposed to do. Thank you for the help.

 

Ok I have done some research and realized it has somethine to do with a UPS. I do have an APC UPS connected to my computer. It has the software to shut down the computer.

 

William - If you haven't already, you'll have to add ups.exe to the PG list of protected programs.

After you do so, click on its' entry in the list. Then, click the field for the drop-down menu containing "Blocked Flags" "Allowed Flags" and "Options" and select "Options" and put a checkmark in "Allow Driver/Services Install" and let us know if that clears the alert and lets the UPS device work correctly (that means, run an actual test on it after doing the above by un-plugging the computer while it's on).

Why would UPS.EXE need privileges to add a service? The UPS service already exists. What does the log entry say, exactly?

 

It's probably a self checking mechanism it tried to modify an existing service, but as a guess I would say either allowing it or leaving it blocked would result in the same behaviour in the end. But since its a modify action, I'd simply allow service installs for the UPS

 

Hi Nameless,
I am guessing but Belkin UPS's (mine is three years old) for instance do not use the Windows built in service and appears to use it's own, as the one I have here is not recognised in the standard windows power options.

So it is probably OK to add it and give it allow service/install driver.
