Difficulty Connecting To Trojanhunter/Swat-it Live
« on: Jul 14th, 2008, 3:07am »		 Quote Quote  Modify Modify
Hi All:  
 
I am running a Win2K Pro 2GZ P4 system, McAfeehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McAfee  Virus scanhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antivirus_software  disabled, I have  
no firewallhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall  (That I am aware of), no router, and have just installed a copy  
of the latest Trojan Hunter 3.8.  
   
When doing the live update, the message says "Preparing to Connect";  
"Hostname lookup successful", then the CPU Usage skyrockets to 100% and I  
cannot close the Live Update unless I use CTL+ALT+DEL.  
 
I observe the exact same behavior when trying to connect to Swat-It's  
version of the auto update feature.  TCPView shows that these Live Updates  
never made any attempt to connect.  
 
I can connect to the internet ok.  My McAfee live update works fine.  I  
have deleted the hosts file, and tried everything I can think of.    
Everything works except for the live update features of the two trojan  
scanner update features.    
 
Swat-it and Trojanhunter both work fine, and I have no problem with these  
live update features on my other PC.    
 
TCPView shows: "SwatItPro.exe:2916 TCP 9925k03:1053  
rapidupdates.swatit.org:http" on my other PC using the same ISP.  
 
Any suggestions would be very appreciated and helpful.  
 
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum AJ_Smith  Wink
 
TrojanHunter V3.8 is an extremely old version of TrojanHunter.
 
Please do the following:
 
1.  Completely uninstall TH V3.8.  BE SURE that THGuard is closed down before you start the uninstall.
 
2.  Reboot your computer after the uninstall is completed.  
 
3.  Remove any folders with the name TrojanHunter that have been left on your hard drive.
 
4.  Then download and install the latest version of TrojanHunter V5.0.962.  The link below will download the latest version.

5.  Because you will be using the Trial Version of TH until you license, LiveUpdate is not active.  Please go to the link below and install the latest updates.

From where did you download V3.8 of TrojanHunter?
