Plugin requires RunScanner and ramdrive. See the readme file inside the plugin.


Plugin: http://www.MegaShare.com/422937

Mirror: http://www.driveway.com/h0n2z4r1r2

IMPORTANT INFO:

There is currently a line in the cmd script that deletes SASKUTIL.SYS. The reason for this is that SASKUTIL.SYS currently creates BSOD when launched in BartPE. You can try and rem it out at a later time, when SUPERAntiSpyware is updated again. The boys at SUPERAntiSpyware are currently working on solving the problem regarding SASKUTIL.SYS and BartPE.
SASKUTIL.SYS is a much needed kernel driver, that means that the plugin is less effective at the moment...

I don't use or update this plugin anymore, so if someone wants to hijack this thread... please feel free to do so.

I defeated spyware a long time ago along with the whole PE project. I say if you're having spyware issues....







PEBKAC!




Still, it would probably be wise to find something you want to use, integrate files and reg entries and start testing for any DLL loads and unloads. Pick your poison.

I second that

Hi,
The plugin works fine.

I have a few questions:
Are these all the program updatable files?
X:\Programs\superantispyware\PROCESSLIST.DB
X:\Programs\superantispyware\PROCESSLISTRELATED.DB

Do you know how/where to download the files (from a ftp?) for updating the plugin before building and burning?

files\SUPERAntiSpyware.com.exe is a plugin needed file?


Thanks

yes, you are correct, those are the update files .... sorry, no I don't know any FTP address to update from, that's why the only way to update, is through the client itself.
SUPERAntiSpyware.com.exe is the %USERPROFILE%\Application Data content. It is needed for the program to function correctly ...

Hoest

Then:

ren "sas_processlistrelated.php?request=GETPROCESSLISTRELATEDZIP&version=0" PROCESSLISTRELATED.ZIP
ren "sas_processlistrelated.php?request=VERSION&version=0" PROCESSLISTRELATED.VERSION

Then extract from the zip files. The other 2 files are just version numbers.

@ oscar




Surely you do mean %ramdrv%\Programs\superantispyware\PROCESSLIST.DB... etc.
Is X:\ your ramdrive?? Normally X:\ is the system drive... not that it matters much, the plugin will still work fine, as the correct variables are used.

Regards

Hoest

@hoest
Yes, thanks to FBWF X: is my %ramdrv% and %systemdrive%

@paraglider
Thanks. I will try to do a cmd for updating the plugin

@ oscar



... actually you are right, it is not needed in the plugin, as the archive only contains the already included .DB files from the other archive... I uploaded a new plugin, where its corrected.

@ paraglider

Thanks for the update links...

A little contribution:
If Winrar and Superantispyware are installed in HD C:\Programs Files this version has an superantispyware.cmd batch file for auto creating/updating plugin files\superantispyware.sfx.exe

@ oscar

cool! nice work with the script!

Hoest

plugin updated.. see first post


Hoest

Using system variables should make the update cmd more universal.

I modified the cmd to use them, it also creates the files folder.

SUPERAntiSpyware folder never exists, it is deleted by winrar -df

When I tested the cmd, Winrar failed since the files folder didn't exist, that left the SUPERAntispyware folder behind. So I added a check in the beginning to see if the folder existed, and if it did to erase it. If the folder doesn't exist, it does nothing.

updated the plugin again... you both made mistakes guys. I used data and ideas from both of you and then added some of my own.

@ oscar

you can't call runscanner from the setup path of a winrar sfx archive, that's why I created runSuper.cmd. Your original script completely misses the app data folder, there is no variable just called user

@ carloscape

I used your variables in the script, but your version above deletes the runSuper.cmd file!!


Regards

Hoest

When I extracted the files, It didn't extract a files folder so I didn't notice the runsuper.cmd. You are right my cmd gets rid of the files folder , just modify the cmd to check the exe file and delete it if needed.



I will download the update now

I can, believe me. It is working fine here. I do not need runSuper.cmd.


@ carloscape


What you need is to check for an existing plugin File folder, and if not, create it once,no need to delete SUPERAntispyware. Deleting SUPERAntispyware does not solves nothing if the plugin File folder does not exist.

@ carloscape


I prefer to delete, so it forces Winrar to create a new file instead of updating the existing one. Continually updating a file could create a bigger file when updates to the program result in files being renamed or removed.

As for file folder not existing, that was my mistake when I failed to completely unzip the plugin. If you unzip it completely, the files folder is created.

Just in case I misinterpreted the comment, as for removing the SUPERAntispyware folder, you are right checking for its existence is unnecessary if the cmd runs without errors at least once. It is mainly a precaution.

Updated again... plugin now runs in vanilla BartPE... download from Post#1

-Hoest

How discriminatory. When will it run on Strawberry or Chocolate?

HAHA .. well, call it plain or raw BartPE then... u are nuts!

- Hoest

did some minor changes and tweaking... new one up, get it from first post...

- Hoest

Plugin works well in some quick testing. I've been trying to get more time to evaluate the effectiveness of the software before spending much time playing with PE plugins for it. Been very busy at work so I've barely had the time to even burn new updated PE discs to be used for cleanup. Thanks for the plugin.

You are welcome

- Hoest

updated download link.. see 1st post.

"file has been deleted by owner message". where is a good download link. want to try out. have never had a love affair with adaware - want to replace it.

thanks carfan

One in the first post works. Just downloaded it ok. Make sure you flush your browser cache.

umm i think its not removing stuff. vundo variant.. removed said to reboot to complete cleaning. yet how can it remove on reboot.. its a diferent os.
ill test again.. but loks liek it didnt remove what it found. or it was a very locked file in acl's

Just ignore the reboot message... the tool is written for Windows... just say no. The plugin is tested and its working 100%.

Hoest

Made some changes to speed up scanning.. changed some registry imports and changed the way Runscanner is used by the plugin...

See first post.

Hi there Hoest, and thank you for always doing work on plugins. My question is: is it just me, or does this latest version of your plugin doesn't work?
After the quetion if you want to protect the homepage, nothing more happends for me, in task manager the process is running, but no program. The earlier version of this plugin works great for me. The odd thing is, that I am experienceing the same problem with the latest Spybot plugin... Hmm.. Any Ideas?

Thank you in advance!

hmm.. I will look into it today, perhaps we were a little too quick with the knife ...

ok, it is fixed... see first post.

Hoest

The plugin works fine, but scanning is somewhat slower than in windows!! I can't really figure out why... I could use a bit of help here, from some of the briliant minds in this forum!!

Regards

Hoest

plugin updated, works a hell of alot faster than the old one ever did ... see first post

You are the greatest, Hoest, the update to version 4 solved my problem, and Superantispyware starts and works like a charm!

@hoest

Plugin works. Thanks.

BTW, what iertutil.dll in Files folder is for?

in some builds, the plugin needs this file, don't ask me why... but I had a few customers telling me that an error will occur, if the file is not present. I have seen it too on occasions, thats why I added the file.

Hoest

FWIW It's an IE 7 dll.

I know Ed, why SAS sometimes needs this file, is unknown to me, so the best solution was simply just to add it to the plugin.

When running for the first time and during the dialog "...retrieving the latest update from our servers..." the program spends 5 minutes to create the file processlist.bin in the same folder where processlist.db is ("Documents ans settings\default user\etc."

Is there a way to avoid this?

Regards,

Im not sure I understand what the problem is... the update dialog doesn't take 5 minutes, it takes less than a minute. After that, the program seems to work fine....

Hoest

Dont worry about any more. The problem is with Vmware only. In the real world de dialog is fast.

Version 4 is out.

get plugin in first post.


-Hoest

Hmm, for some reason it always pops up as SuperAntiSpyware FREE Edition inside my Virtual PC / when booting from CD.. I've tried everything I can think of but haven't been able to sort it. It also doesn't seem to respect when you disable automatic updates at startup in the registry, bizarre!

Hi

This plugin is made for the free version, so that is not that strange... When you run the program, the updater launches when a network is detected. That's the way it is, I can't change that.

Does the program start automaticly when you boot? ...that is NOT normal behaviour!! How does the program function in real boot?? please be more specific...

- Hoest

I can't get this (v4.0 plugin) to work! RunScanner starts, asks if I want to load a remote user profile and then SAS launches and retrieves the latest spyware definitions - but nothing seems to happen after that. I can see the RunScanner & SAS processes running in Taskmanager (using 100% cpu) but nothing appears on the screen. Any ideas or suggestions? Any help appreciated. Thanks
