Problem with update 4.9

<< < (4/5) > >>

Boggin:
That's why I thought it may be your antivirus program doing it, going by my previous experience with Norton Security and WR.

So are you getting similar problems in Safe Mode with Networking ?

Can you install that hack to put Take ownership into your right click context menu to take ownership when you right click on the icon before opening it and then see if you still get that error message.

I have that hack on all three of my laptops, so I know it's safe.

I've just been having a read up on how PCMatic works. - https://www.pcmatic.com/supported

Can you contact them and ask if www.tweaking.com is on their whitelist ?

I checked the app on my pc for black and white lists and Tweak is not listed on either.  After install I did manage to do a scan, however, after the scan, the icon lost the Repair_windows.exe link and the executable got deleted again.  REALLY STRANGE!  Also, what do you mean by hack?

My mystery missing executable link on the icon.  About to reach the point of going back to another version before 4.4.9

Boggin:
If you read this article you will see what I mean about the hack to add Take ownership to the right click context menu which is an easy way of taking ownership of a file/program.

It sounds very much like PCMatic is the cause of this - this is why I was wanting you to install and run the repair program in Safe Mode with Networking to see what happens then.

In that mode all 3rd party programs are isolated from running which is why it is advocated running the repair program in that mode because an antivirus program can get in the way.

Antivirus programs depending upon their Definitions (usually) can become quite defensive when it comes to programs that have the ability to change the registry.

According to the article on how PCMatic works, a program is sent to PCMatic to check if it is white or black listed.

It would seem as the program is listed in neither, it is in limbo.

If the repair program opens and runs as it should in Safe Mode with Networking then I would advise you to contact PCMatic to have www.tweaking.com whitelisted and then see how things go.

At the bottom of the PCMatic article there is a Contact Us link you can use.
