    Exclamation Problem with test target

    Hi,

    I noticed one of my machines running distributed testing was using 100% of the processors of my dual core machine (50% CPU) for over a day. I stopped and restarted the service a few times and the download queue was getting longer and it seemed stuck on one entry:-

    Testing now: SDDT-Win32.Hidden.RTK-Yodama.sbi

    To check, I installed the client on my other machine, a quad core, with the same effects. It has been also stuck testing this item overnight and is using 25% cpu (100% of 1 processor core)

    Could you look into this please? The queued test list is getting quite long and I would hate the alternative of shutting down the service as the excessive cpu use is hindering my normal use of the machines.

    Can you email me with your response as I am unwilling to commit so much constant cpu resource to testing one possibly faulty rule test and will be forced to terminate my involvement in the testing program if this problem persists.

    Thank you
    Tamxir

    Ps - I am using the current version 1.6 of the S/W and the OS on my machines is 1. XP Pro SP3 2. Vista Ult SP1

    Further to my previous post, I have sent my sbsdscan.ini as suggested in an earlier thread post.

    Sorry for the multiple post. I get a bit crabby when I wake up for my first coffee and I see both my babies (2 nice PC's) are using up cpu on I what don't know.



    I've had my coffee now and I'm settled.

    PS again. Maybe I should go back to bed. Normally I can say what I need to in one post with zero edits

    I've had no virus checker or firwall issues with any testing (Avast and OutPost Pro). Also, the client runs fine otherwise.

    This issue sound like the one PepiMK mentioned with the expired license file.
    You will need to install the new version of the distributed testing client, the installer can be manually downloaded here

    Please help us improve Spybot and download our distributed testing client.

    Lightbulb anyone know yet......

    about the post i made along with other people on the last page?

    "I have downloaded and installed the latest update for the testing console, however, even though i have the latest update installed, when i click "about" in the program (which seems to go straight to the updater for some reason) I get the following: There's a new version, 1.6.1, available. Update to 1.6.1 is required to run after November 23rd, 2008. Do you want to download it? And when i click no, (as i have already did the update) it brings me to the about screen and says the following info: spybot s&d distributed testing console 1.6.1.15 Which is the latest version.....yet it keeps telling me a new update is available, and yet i already have it. Just thought i would let you know of this. Uninstall and install again does not help. So ya, little bug "

    Default Update re McAfee and PoisonIvy-micha

    And McAfee snatches up and quarantine's the ini for the above test, same as before.

    But at least all of the other tests ran successfully.

    Hopefully a update to McAfee in the near future will fix this; otherwise that test is never going to complete!
    sddt had been running well and without any McAfee warnings since maybe a week after my last post (which was the beginning of November). However, the recent PoisonIvy-micha test is again triggering McAfee the same as before, only this time when McAfee quarantine's the ini file it causes sddt to crash, but sddt stays at 50% CPU usage until I click on the window that tells Windows whether or not to send an error report. Below is the info from the log:
    (i) 12/9/2008 2:20 PM Testing now: SDDT-Win32.PoisonIvy.j-micha.sbi...
    (i) 12/9/2008 2:20 PM Downloading next: SDDT-Win32.PoisonIvy.j-micha.sbi

    Unfortunately I do not have the time right now to do any troubleshooting, but I wanted to at least pass on this information which I hope will be helpful. I'll need to disable sddt for the time being. But I'll try it periodically over the next weeks/months to see if the issue has somehow gotten resolve either on McAfee's end or with sddt.

    Thanks Yodama. I've been a bit too busy to revisit the issue but I just downloaded the new client as you recommended and all is fixed now and running well. The 2nd machine should be up and testing also soon.
