ewido_micro error

Thank you so much for a place to haunt, and also come to
I have learned a lot surfing here


I just downloaded the ewido_micro this past week, and it updates right at the first.
Four times I have tried it, I get the attd.error.

I have tried to figure this out, and really would appreciate help with it.

The second error, which has happened twice, is it gets part-way and
downright disappears/closes. Not even an instance mentioned in taskmgr.
I downloaded the program again, still happened (the second time).

I can guarantee I don't have a SWAT-ridden machine, just can't figure out what is happening and why.
99% of the time when I get the error below, it is only cookies it finds.

I wrote ewido, and mentioned the ewido_micro (free) and they wrote back I had to have a PAID subscription and
what was my license number.... (WHAT??)


Much deep thanks for your help and insights!

 

It seems the online scanner can't remove some infections. You can either download the installer of AVG Antispyware (after 30 days, some features will be disabled like real-time) or scan with its command-line scanner. Here's a thread on using the command-line scanner.

By the way, before trying to scan with Ewido Micro again did you purge your temp files first? The engine or updates downloaded must be corrupt.

thanks so much for the quick reply.

Just tried it on my XPHome machine, found cookies, and no error msg.

Must be the XPPro machine.

Will try the cmd line scanner.

Much thanks again for the help

PS Yes did the temp files.

 

theos,
I read over the thread....so in safemode or not?

looking at the date of thread, does it have GUI?

Also does it do the whole machine or do I need to copy the four files to other drives to do them?


Much thanks

 

If you're infected I suggest you scan in safe mode. It doesn't have a GUI. You need to specify what drive to scan.

Download ewidoscan.zip. This includes the latest signatures, engine.dll, and heuristic.dat. Extract it to C:\Ewido.

Open command prompt.

Type: cd\
Press enter

Type: cd Ewido
Press enter

Type: ewidoscan /clean /backup /memory /registry /report="C:\Ewido\log.txt" C:\
Press enter

For additional commands see this post.

If you run this tool and then scan with Ewido Micro (in XP Pro) do you still get the same error? Before scanning redownload Ewido Micro.

thanks for the reply. No bugs whatsoever, just preventative maint.
would rather know everything about the progs I need to run in ahead of time.
Have a great day!

 

Ok. You're welcome.

Were you able to resolve your problem on Ewido Micro not working in Windows XP Pro?
