Re: Trend Micro Scan

Hi Joe

I had a problem getting Trend spyware cleaner to run on my XP and figured out what was blocking it:
See this post:
»Re: Trend Micro Anti-Spyware for the Web

Then, I found the problem. XP had the file blocked. I had to go into the file properties and unblock it, to allow it to run.
It was due to this:

Re: Trend Micro Scan

Greetings Janie!!!

When I go to the TM scan page I don't get the option to download the ActiveX component (see my screenshot) so I am not presented with the scan window that you got. Also, that "disable security warnings" does not apply here because I don't get that far and I am not running SP2 yet.

It is unusual that I face this issue with both my Win98 partition and the XP partition.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Joe P

P.S. Did you see that link to the Trend Micro European site? With all the time I spend on this forum that is the first time I saw that site posted. I must have been napping!!!

The other excellent suggestions here - just keep trying. As you can see many different things can affect what is happening. I had the problem with Win98 and my XPSP1 using the online scanner from Computer Associates! It got fixed when I got SP2 and then the Trend-Micro wouldn't work LOL. (That's when I figured out the disable security warnings thing). Now both sites work for me.

The little icon in your post # 1 pic tells me you have the ActiveX component already installed and it's either corrupted or somehow the ActiveX kill-bit for HouseCalls clsid was set.

On your Win98 machine....C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files....the HouseCall Control does not say corrupted does it ? You might consider right clicking that control and selecting Update if you haven't already.

If the kill-bit is set....which that icon is usually an indicator of....you could look in the below reg key for HouseCalls ActiveX clsid and if there is an entry it will be 0x00000400(1024) if the kill bit is set.

Re: Trend Micro Scan

Thanks Bubba....

On my WinXP system I did find that CLSID and it had:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{04e214e5-63af-4236-83c6-a7adcbf9bd02}

REG WORD 0x00000400 (1024)

Now what? Delete that entry and return to House Call?

That is indeed the dword value that disables a ActiveX clsid....and in your case the HouseCall ActiveX control. That entry can be deleted....and you will definetly be one step closer in making HouseCalls ActiveX control work.

Just curious....what programs do you use that might set ActiveX kill-bits....excusing programs such as Spywareblaster or Spybot. Neither of those programs for sure has HouseCalls ActiveX control in their respective databases.

Re: Trend Micro Scan

Bubba,

You are 'da man!!! The problem is resolved, many thanks.

The two programs I use which set kill-bits are Spyware Blaster and the Spyware Block File list. So, one of those may be the culprit because only recently the Trend Micro scan failed to work.

Thanks again!!

You are Welcome Joe....and as said earlier....it is not in Spywareblasters database. I also just downloaded the Spyware Block List File and it's not in there either....but in any case HouseCall is now working on the Win98 machine also ?

@ Fredra,

I looked for 9A9307A0-7DA4-4DAF-B042-5009F29E09E1 in the 2005-8-17 12:40:52 Spyware Block List and that clsid was not there. Perhaps it was mistakenly in a prior update ?

Re: Trend Micro Scan

Bubba,

Yes, I did find that clsid on my 98 machine and after deleting it the TM scan worked as it should.

Thanks again.

Maybe it was in a prior update.
Anyhow, with your directions and assistance both Trend and Panda are now working as they should.

To Bubba
You are so correct...thanks. Deleting that entry got it working.
Your assistance is appreciated.

To joepwpb
There seems to be a common denominator with one of your programs and what I used (have since deleted it), and that is Spyware Block List File. I never used it on my other PC, which works well with Trend Micro Online.
Now I have to find the CLSID for Panda...lol
Edit.. found the clsid for Panda {9A9307A0-7DA4-4DAF-B042-5009F29E09E1} and it also had (1024) in the registry. I deleted it and now Panda works.

Again, thanks Bubba.

Cheers
