Tds slow scan time ?

Hi'ya, Just thought i'd add to the confusion...LOL...but on my Win98se, i have the right-click option to scan with TDS-3 for folders, but not individual files, nor anything on the desktop. Now with my XP-Home, i have the option to use the right-click scan with TDS for folders, files, and everything on the desktop.

i am still using the TDS-3 version 3.2.0 (registered) on both pc's. Not sure if the right-click option is there for WinME....i didn't install it on the WinME. But i don't use the right-click to scan with TDS-3 only because it does take a bit before it goes through the scanning of the Processes before it gets to the one item i want scanned.

regards,

Hi Jooske,

Sorry, I didn't realize that you were asking me before! I hope you forgive me that!

Yes, sure I have a registry protection installed. The one from DiamondCS -RegProt. But I don't think this was the problem... Nevertheless Dan showed me how to solve this problem. A little registry edit, that's all.

Best regards,

Patrice

 

On WinME it works all properly too, i can scan all kinds of files and extensions, exe, also on desktop.
What i see it doing: if i click to scan an icon on the desktop, it scans the exe it's pointed to.

Patrice, looking forward to the next AutostartGuard (still in the build) working beside AutoStartViewer.

 

Well I found the answer to why mine never scanned sigle files.
The original TDS reg entry was C:\TDS3\tds-3.exe -scanf %1
So adding the two back slashes to C:\\TDS3\\tds-3.exe -scanf %1 & all is OK. Strange thing is that the first entry was made by the TDS installer & I had no reg protection at the time so I wonder if it is an XP thing?

Works fine now Well done Dan!

 

Hello Jooske and Everyone

Is it possible to set the options on TDS3 that upon right-click all the processes are not scanned but just only the single file or folder highlighted?

 

Hi QSection,
your question confuses me?
If you go to windows explorer, dig for the file or folder you want to scan and rightclick on it, only that file or folder is scanned.
The processes and their components, dlls, exes, etc are all scanned in the startup scans if you configured so via TDS.
In the system testing via the Disk\File scan you can choose for a folder, directory, drive, partition to be scanned.

I think you mean via the process list > double click a process to see the components and now you want to have only one file, dll whatever to be scanned, in stead of all the modules, right?
You can scan all those modules and look at each individual file, but at the moment not from there scan only one. Not sure if this is implemented in TDS4.

 

You must have STARTUP scans enabled. So either turn those off, or once TDS has loaded once leave it running and when you right click TDS wont start up and scan, it will already be running

 

This is an interesting thread, i must say!
I can scan single files with my evaluation version (3.2.1.) without changing the slashes in my registry mentioned before.
I have one simple question though: when tds3 is ready with the san it states: ....files , 0 alarms in 622,8672 sec avg 29,33 files/sec. What is the worth of these figures? Is it slow or fast or is there nothing to tell? I let tds3 scan c:

 

Hi Hendricus, The full scan is CPU intensive & probably only required once a week. Your scan rate looks similar to mine. Not a lot of good really but at least it shows that TDS is working
If you have any problems they will show in the a scanner box which opens as needed, right clicking on qany problems will then show a menu for actions.
