Spyware Doctor V5.0.1.205 On Guard causes problems

Post by Bob » Fri Jul 27, 2007 9:46 am

I have tried turning off some of the on guard settings but the only thing that works is totally disabling on guard itself. I have also tried this with Sandboxie .05
This is not a huge deal to me now that I hear Spysweeper is working but if anyone knows anything I would like to turn it on.
It caused quiet a few problems but the main one I remember is that sandboxie will not launch programs from the sandboxie menu itself.
Thanks.
P.S. Great software Tzuk :)

Please be more clear about what is OnGuard, and where I can download it, if there is anything specific I need to do with it, and what is the problem that I'm supposed to see... :) And then I'll be glad to try it and fix anything that needs fixing.

OnGuard is a service built into Spyware Doctor (http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/), the point of OnGuard is to act as Realtime protection, catching anything that tries to install on your computer in realtime, hope that helps. :?

Then I'll try Spyware Doctor tomorrow, unless someone says there's no problem anymore. :wink:

Its only on the newest version of Spyware Doctor that causes problems.

I tried Spyware Doctor that I downloaded today, it's version 5.0.

I had no problems with Sandboxie, but Spyware Doctor itself remained in the "starting" state indefinately.

I think you should try it again yourself and see if the problem is still there.

I think we are having the opposite effects on our computers because I am not having any problems with spyware doctor its starts fast and just like its supposed to although when activated and I click on the sandboxie UI and run sandboxed - default browser the only thing that starts inside the sandbox is start.exe and the browser never opens. I just tried it again to make sure I wasnt making any mistakes and Its still doing it.[/img][/list]

I guess so... But if I can't reproduce, it means I can't fix. Sorry.
