PG 3.4 beta 1: userinit.exe - unable to ask user about at least 1 execution

Process Guard 3.4 Beta 1

I got the following alert:

userinit.exe: unable to ask user about at least 1 execution, defaulting to permit one (unable to ask user)

I get this alert every time I boot to Windows 2000.

Why was PG unable to ask user? It never ask me for action about this. Is it a bug or by design?

It happened in Windows 2000 SP4 with all hotfixes.

Thanks.

 

IIRC, userinit starts before PG has a chance to fully load. If you are sure he file is correct, i.e. from MS and not infected by anything, I would right-click and change it to Always Allow. That way you will not get that alert again.

HTH

 

Thanks, I will try it.

 

Hi, Chubb

Have you changed any Wallpaper Desktop or Appearance in anyway, because that will cause the userinit.exe call.

Take Care,

Hi TheQuest,

I didn't change any wallpaper or appearance of the desktop. I think it is strange at first because it never happen in version 3.15. PG 3.4 beta 1 was installed in my Windows 2000 partition. I haven't tried it in Windows XP yet.

 

You could put the file in PG to ask. That way you`ll see what is trying to start it the next time.

 

not sure that will work ... seeing that PG isn't fully running by that point

also, i think 3.15 did have the 'unable to ask user' ... just that it didn't warn you so loudly that it had some (i think you had to actually look in the security tab and manually look through the last action to see it)

 

I have set it to "Permit Always" and PG didn't show the unable to ask user anymore. Will try a few more reboots. Thanks all.
