| 515344 | 2007-01-13 00:29:00 | Does anyone have System Mechanic version 7.0.5 and Trojan Remover installed? If so, has anyone had the same problem I'm having? Updating SM to 7.0.5 has caused Trojan Remover to hang, like as in the main TR program doesn't run and Task Manager says it is using 100% cpu. I have informed the Trojan Remover people and had some immediate responses from them, but as yet nothing from Iolo, the SM people. Remove SM, and TR resumes working, reinstall SM and TR stops. With SM version 7 there is also an awful lot of internet connectivity. Even after entering registration details, it has to check back to verify they are correct. If it is not allowed to connect, then only a 30 day trial is allowed. I presume this is to foil crackers. SM also want to send and receive data from time.nist.gov, which is the N.I.S.T. time server, very odd. Also waiting for Iolo to explain why this is. |

| 515345 | 2007-01-13 00:43:00 | Are u using the latest TR?? 6.5.5?? The first version of 6.5.4 even for registered users used to say it was corrupted, when u ran it and did a scan sometimes. This only happened if someone tries to crack it Not if u registered it. This was a bug in 6.5.4, which the guys fixed. Know nothing bout SM tho, don't use it. And what did Simplysup say? |

| 515346 | 2007-01-13 00:43:00 | One way to avoid expiry of limited-time evaluations has been to change the OS date . Perhaps they think that it would be a bit harder to change the date of NIST's time standard. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 515347 | 2007-01-13 00:56:00 | Speedy: Yes, I'm using the latest 6.5.5 version of Trojan Remover Since version 7 of SM appeared a week ago or so, there has been a "flurry" of further updates, suggesting that they released 7.0.0 rather prematurely. The 'Fast Scan' program works, as does the update program, but not the main RmvTrjan.exe program. Graham: I think that could well be the answer, as it is not possible to actually install SM now without being connected to the internet, and all sorts of to and fro checking goes on. :) (only the 30 day trial can be installed without being connected, or with blocking connection) |

When I wanted to enter the license key the whole system just shut down. Thanks for letting me know that it is a Trojan. :( SM must be sucks now. |

No. I didn't say it is a trojan, the point of the thread was that System Mechanic 7.0.5 conflicts with the anti-trojan program Trojan Remover. Despite all the internet connectivity I find the latest version of System Mechanic performs very well, and somewhat faster than older versions. If you are having difficulties entering the registration details, then it may be your firewall blocking System Mechanic internet access. |

| 515350 | 2007-01-17 00:35:00 | Problems with System Mechanic 7 are surfacing in other places. Using Process Viewer I was able to determine that System Mechanic 7 is exhibiting malware behaviour in that it is inserting code via a file ioloHL.dll into Trojan Remover. The quick fix solutions are to either rename ioloHL.dll to say ioloHL.dl_, and/or disable IoloDMVSVC.exe in Administrative tools-Services. Here is more info on the problem: www.sandboxie.com www.wrensoft.com www.wilderssecurity.com Until Iolo pull their finger out and start responding to complaints and fix the problem, do not on any account buy System Mechanic 7. It is affecting software other than Trojan Remover. |

| 515351 | 2007-01-17 01:51:00 | Sounds like Yahoo Messenger . Some of its files kind of inject themselves into FF and other browsers . To track you or something . You most probably wouldn't know unless some firewall told you . |
