Live Update/THG Settings in sys tray

Not sure if this belongs here or in THG forum, as it seems to be a little of both....

In a nutshell, I'm seeing two different things: THG in system tray doesn't seem to be updating to reflect new ruleset/date when auto LU runs. According to Rule Statistics in TH, I have the newest update from 1/6/08 with 153627 detection rules, so automatic LU is working correctly. However, THG in sys tray (even after manually running LU again via THG settings) still says 1/5/08 with 13362 process rules.

After using TH for so long, am I not understanding how this should work, or is this wrong? I'd swear THG used to match Rules Statistics in TH (but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong Grin

). Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly as it's not something I check all the time.

I'd like to post a screenie which would make it easier to understand what I'm talking about, but I don't see an option to do that unless I'm missing it.

TIA!

The forum does not permit this. However, you can store an image externally on like Box.net and then provide a link to it in your post.

THGuard just shows the number of process rules active...which as of the 07-Jan-08 update is 13372. From the "details" in TH scanner (under the Trojan icon), this is shown below:

+-- Process checker -------------------------
Rule description : Process Rules
Rule type : Process
Number of rules : 13372

Ahh, ok. So what I'm seeing is normal. For some reason I thought what I saw in THG and in TH>Ruleset>Rules Statistics (same as "details") should match. I'm so used to TH doing it's thing without issues that I don't often check these things. I thought I remembered it differently, but as is often the case, I was wrong! Grin

Thanks for the explanation!
