Process Guard Problems

I have had this problem for a week now...

Protection is enabled
Program Checksum is Enabled
General Protection 1-4 Enabled

Program Checksum area is just black with nothing in it.
Program Protection Lists 1-14 no file names, no paths, allow is none, blocked is none, options none. 15-28 Shows up just fine

I have reinstalled PG multiple times hoping to fix it that way. Disabling and enabling different startup options also in MSCONFIG.

Addon to original text:

Under log I get this even when I uninstall and reinstall the program:

[1 of 2] Failure: Driver is not correctly installed or active.

 

Hi Mike, You need to disable Process Guard and delete pguard.dat and pghash.dat in your *:\windows\system32\ folder.

Run defrag and before reboot go to Start - Run - and type chkdsk /f - You will be asked if you want this to occurr after the next reboot Answer Yes.

Reboot, Re-enable process Guard. You will have to re-add your files, it may be a good idea to allow learning mode for a while as you run all your trusted programs.

Once complete reboot again anf turn learning mode off.

Once you have rebuilt your lists, Back up your pguard.dat & phash.dat to a zip file in case this happens again.

A request to incorporate a backup sytem has been made for future versions

That did it, thanks for the assistance...

One more question you...

Say I do a reinstall on my OS:

What files should I backup to restore the settings now on a new OS, thanks.

 

For PG it would be pguard.dat and pghash.dat. My preference would be to do a clean install of PG after patching Windows and installing security software.

Good point Nick, As many checksums and loctions might change when re-installing.

Mike, I hope all goes well with you now, I have found that once Process Guard "settles down" it is very stable but I also recommend regular defrags to help keep everything running smoothly.
