Thanks for both comments. Easy to retain just a few days then, and agreed, rather log everything! And nice find. I am enjoying this proggie. Only change I've made is to log to my FIDES-protected external USB, rather than SSD system drive (this after discovering that Hard Disk Sentinel rates it only 'Acceptable' with Wear Levelling Count of 49 - threshold 5 - and estimated remaining lifetime only 279 days! . Hope it's wrong, this laptop is just over two years old).
A cheap SSD should be good for at least 5 years. And one should never defrag a SSD. A high quality one that as also cost a lot of money will last your lifetime.
Should release a new build soon with option DeleteLogsOlderThanNDays in the Config.ini file, example: DeleteLogsOlderThanNDays = 7 ----> Delete log files older than 7 days DeleteLogsOlderThanNDays = 0 ----> Never delete logs
Agree. I was just surprised at the Wear Levelling Count. CrystalDiskInfo shows the same but does not give a 'warning'. Excellent .
Hard to say with looking at the screenshot. FIDES, Sandboxie, a browser-extension ... Try to run the browser unsandboxed, and download it again. If it fails again, start the browser in safe mode with all extensions disabled. If it is working now, you know that a browser-extension has prevented the download. Deactivate one by one to find the culprit.
Yes, I was following that path. Time consuming, but necessary if it continues to raise its ugly head.It has only happened once more with another download. I thought it was the DownThemAll! add-on but then it happened also with that extension disabled. And with browser unsandboxed. FIDES is only being active for my external USB drive. Anyway, I guess this is OT.
I think this is the right place to answer, so i'll do it here For example if i want to search for processes in my logfiles i'm using the filemanager Total Commander. It automatically searches all logfiles in the path which is mentioned in "Search in:" I'm pretty sure there are other tools which are able to do this.
@novirusthanks Is it possible to add the logging of the "exit status" of a process? So the user knows if it's a regular termination: 0x0, "forced termination" from the user: 0x1 or a crash: 0xc0000005,etc. I took these example from Process Hacker, which is able to log the exit codes. For example it might look like this: Code: [Process Termination] 23.03.2017 00:01:14 Process: [8296] C:\Windows\System32\dllhost.exe Exit Status: 0xc00000005 Uptime: ~00:00:06 It can be useful to log this. The user can search for abnormal process terminations in the logfiles, if needed.
Yes, here is a new build v1.3 for testing: http://downloads.novirusthanks.org/files/ProcessLoggerService_TEST.zip This is the changelog so far: Let me know if you find any issues. Example log of "Exit Status":
A little OT, but re svchost info, Ive found this to be pretty useful... https://svchostviewer.codeplex.com/ Woops not for W10 I guess... I use it in W8.1 and it says its for up to W7... might be worth trying? There are some other programs like it also.... Heres another... http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/tweaking_com_svchost_exe_lookup_tool.html
