May not be a worry but it is a real PIA for me as it seems to be some what random, but it triggers mzwritescanner which is a pain. Okay now that I know I have to figure out how to whitelist it.

I tried running an update and it said none were available.

It comes from Mzwritescanner which is flagging the temp file as some kind of executable being initiated the EAM services exe file

What is this that EAM is trying to run C:\Program Files\Emsisoft Anti-Malware\a2service.exe > C:\Windows\Temp\tmp000000c0\tmp00000058 I have blocked it so far Pete

Okay, thanks for explaining. But isn't there a simpler way of checking. That sure is resource intensive at boot.

Hi Frank Spoke to soon. Only change I am seeing is now if I kill trusted installed. Honestly I am kind of disappointed in that there could have been a much better solution. Let me give you an example. 1. Test for a special file in the emsisoft area. 2. If it is not there then run the scan first alerting the user you are going to do so and that it's a one time thing 3. If the KB is present generate the file I mentioned above. If the KB isn't there either download the KB for the user or at least give him a link. 4. If the special file is there your done. The special file doesn't have do contain anything. Pete

Initial test looks good. Have to update the other machine and live with it a day. Thanks guys

will test

Great. I'll turn EAM back on and wait.

Hi Frank I am seeing the notice every morning on the other machine, but that doesn't get rebooted often so it's not as much of a bother. Let me know if you need somthing tested before release. Pete

Hi Frank It's far from all fine. I waa seeing a strange artifact on reboot. System brought to a halt by very heavy disk activity that last almost a minute plus. Turns out it was trustedinstaller.exe and it was scrolling thru all the install KB's. When I killed it I then got the EAM compatibility alert. Using autoruns i blocked all the EAM components from loading at boot and now all is well. Pete

I tried re installing and it said the KB was already on the system.

For anyone interested the above KB is already installed and have sent the logs

Thanks.

PM'd PS. What was the KB, as I think I got the wrong one.
