Remote Desktop IP Monitor Blocker
kkay:
Yes, I can only use a wired modem. This is a desktop. When my firewall was being hit before, I had Zone Alarm. It actually became annoying with so many alerts. It was almost always Chinese ip addresses too. Then I went to Comodo. I liked it for a long time, and then I quit using it. It became too difficult for me to use. I've had other firewalls in the past too. I loved Online Armor, but it wouldn't work with my Win8 computer. So I quit using it. (I had the paid version back then) I had set up the Win8/8.1 computer to do safe mode, but haven't tried it with this computer in Win10.
I saw nothing in ESET logs that would explain this at all. The last time the Remote Desktop IP Monitor Blocker closed was several days ago. It may be days before it happens again. The program closed sometime yesterday, but I didn't notice it until late last night. When I can I will try the computer in safe mode for a little while, but doubt if I will see the Tweaking RDIMB program close that way. It gives no warning, and I see no message. Just one minute it is there, and then it's not.
Boggin:
Can you explain how that program works ?
I was under the impression that the program should be running all of the time and not shutting down.
kkay:
It shouldn't be shutting down on it's own, or anything else. It should run at start-up, and not ever shut off, unless I exit and close the program myself. That is why I posted the thread.
Boggin:
I didn't realise this was one of Shane's programs.
Seeing if it shuts down on its own or not in Safe Mode with Networking can point to something conflicting installed on your computer.
If it doesn't shut down then you will need to perform a clean boot.
You would do this by first by disabling all of the items under Startup in Task Manager and if it still shuts down, then go Start - type msconfig and under the Services tab, check the box to Hide all Microsoft services then Disable all - Apply - OK - Restart.
If that resolves then re-enable two or three services at a time to see how the program performs after the reboot, but as it's only intermittent then its shut down may coincide with a particular task.
If those steps are too indeterminate to diagnose, I'll ask Shane if he has any idea why it should be shutting down just now and again.

Thank you. I will try that when I can.
