Can not access parameters
Bonjour.
I renewed my licence for home edition yesterday.
I was suspecting a malware problem, as the internet transfers appears a lot slower for the last few days :
Drobox and Firefox showed both establishing connections with 007guard.com and 1e100.net.
I understood, from another post in spybot forum that 007guard is related Spybot,
and from other researchs, that 1e100.net is a Google utilitary hostname.
I have been using Spybot for years, as a reliable product.
Now, Spybot is showing a few weird behviors :
- I can not access the parameters.
- Impossible to enable "Realtime Protection" (rev.001)
- The system scan seems to complete but does not seems to close, and the user interface does not update.
- The start-up tool center user interface remains busy, r(showing the hourglass), its the tabs are not accessible.
What should I look to, in order to have Spybot to behave properly ?
Iwas suspecting some kind of "user account protection problem, but I found nothing...
I still need to find the problems on my computer:
the processor is heating (fan running high speed),
and connection remain slow.
Rev.001 : 20180217-1300H : Risque : Addition to text
SDSetting.exe does not run
rev.002 : 20180217-1340H : Risque : Addition to Thread
SDSetting.exe does not run.
I tried to start it using every compatibility possibility.
It seems to exit, or to be terminated without any warning or error message.
Inter-relations between Spybot and Dropbox application
Proceeding to maintenance of my computer, suspecting the presence of a malware,
I observed through the Resources Manager that there is a link established between
Dropbox (while synchronizing), and an obscur site called www.007guard.com.
Searching about 007guard, I found a post in Spybot forum saying that 007guard is a Spybot Address. Fwww!
I do not know much about the way Spybot works, but, could someone explains me, in general terms, how Spybot interact with Droobox, or other cloud services ?
Reference to most recent post on 007guard
Tashi,
I was referring to the most recent post
https://forums.spybot.info/showthrea...issue-for-good published 2017-03-23.
There is also
https://forums.spybot.info/showthrea...w-007guard-com and a few others.
Reading, learning, I understand there should be an host list somewhere.
I am not sure where it should be.
Found "host" (without extension) in
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
If I am not mistaken, I understand that this file provides ip addresses for series sites,
directing malwares to connect to local host ( to remain inside the computer ) instead of connecting outside.
But, is 007guard.com a malware, or not ?
And, why Dropbox and Firefox want to connect to 007guard.com ?
SDSetting.exe ok / SDTools.exe still freezing
