    Hi! I'm not sure if this is a bug or an intended change:
    Running the Stand-Alone client, with interval of 3600 seconds (1 hour), but I downloaded and tested 4 tests in the space of 2 minutes... is that right? last time i downloaded and tested about.... 15/20.. me confused! - Chris

    Tests are split into single malware product tests.
    So even if it checks only once an hour, it may find N different tests when checking, and processes all N tests at once of course.

    Ah right, so it'll look for -new- tests every hour, nothing to do with heavier traffic from tests. Misunderstood

    Also, can't seem to get the service to run, using vista. The console's fine, but get (Could not start service!) :( - Chris

    clicking stop service. then start service. That worked for me. if it says started succesfully in the text, its fine and running.

    Default Suggestion: Vista privilege request!

    :( Nope.
    "(Could not stop service!)
    (Could not start service!)"

    Also got an error when I tried to apply settings (even though I didn't change anything!), seems to be that Testing Console needs elevated privileges (as I installed in Prog Files)
    Getting above service error even with Admin mode. - Chris

    Edit: Mmmm, a scan with a result! Just a registry entry ending "WmiApSrv\ImagePath" :|

    deleting the program and try reinstalling it. clear out all folders and registry entries. Also, make sure your firewall will allow the program to access the Internet.

    Default Other Suggestion: Start menu link for uninstall??

    OK 129260, doing so now. Strangely enough there wasn't an uninstall option from the start menu, had to go to the dir and select.. it may have got confused with the SB uninstall, but that still directs to SB..

    During uninstall: System Error Code 1060. The specified service doesn't exist as an installed service :(
    *waves bye bye to logs*. - Chris

    Edit: any idea where the reg entries are: Searched SDDT but didn't find anything.
    Pepi: Put the link on the front page? Or not? :(

    Lightbulb wow that is weird.......

    try downloading and then installing it again even though there are traces of the program there........the registry entires i found were right next to spybot. They were called distributed testing. The service has the same name. Right click my computer-manage-go to services. see if its in the list. if it is, click restart and see what happens.

    Pepi: made two suggestions (see posts titles), in case you missed them.

    129260: No service, the only one i have the is security centre integration.
    Have got the files to do a reinstall now, will do so tonight and post back - Chris
