why does TH change registry value daily?
« on: Apr 12th, 2005, 5:29pm »		 Quote Quote  Modify Modify
Just wondering if someone can explain to me why I get the following alert from reg defend:
 
Process: thguard.exe
Registry Key: hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
Reg Value: thguard
 
indicating that th guard wants to change my registry each time I boot up?

It's writing its autostart key to the registry.

Thanks Magnus,  
 
as you can probably gather, I am not that familiar with registry details etc.  
So, I take it as normal that it does that every day even if nothing has changed?

It writes this registry key every time you reboot your computer.  It's not a daily function; it's a reboot function.

that sounds odd, to me..  if i turn on the option for THGuard to autostart, then i get a notice that the regkey is being added to autostart, but otherwise, i do not get the same notice every time that i reboot.. (i am NOT using regdefend)
