Claudiano 2 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi, I connected my computer today and as usual I opened my Emsisoft AntiMalware to see if it was updated, I checked it was 19 hours ago without updating, I rebooted Windows and nothing, it gets frozen 'connecting' and never updates, which I should do? thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JeremyNicoll 78 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Can you browse other websites? (Clearly yes, if it's that computer you are using to update this problem record, but maybe you're using a different machine to tell us?) Can you open a command window and try commands: ipconfig /all which should list details of each of your machine's network interfaces, and ping cdn.emsisoft.com which will try to send a small test to that server.

JeremyNicoll 78 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ah - a log file. Good. (Users like me can't see inside attached files, but when GT500 next looks at this he'll be able to see it and suggest something.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barsuk 0 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi! On the PC in parallel with Emsisoft Anti-Malware installed Eset Nod32. After updating the EAM, it constantly finds the malicious code in the temporary folder of Windows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Claudiano 2 Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I have done everything here and nothing, I reinstalled and the same problem continues, it can not connect to the server, it is frozen as in the photo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeremyNicoll 78 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 @Barsuk - your problem has nothing at all to do with the problem that @Claudiano has, so you should have started a thread/discussion of your own instead of hijacking his. Also, although you have described your issue in English, the screenshots are in... Russian? If Russian is your own language it might be more sensible to post in the Russian sub-forum here and get help from others who speak that language. I do not know what the files in C:\WINDOWS\TEMP are. These are NOT the normal user's temporary files which are in places like (on W8.1) C:\Users\userid\AppData\Local\Temp - I would assume they are something placed there by some Windows process. I wouldn't think that any Emsisoft product would place any files in this OS-owned folder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeremyNicoll 78 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 @Claudiano - you say you reinstalled. Did you have any difficulty uninstalling the old version? The usual advice to anyone uninstalling is to reboot twice after doing it - did you do that? Also there's a cleanup tool that you can use (if you download it with another PC?) to make sure that the old version is properly uninstalled.

Guest Tempus Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hi Claudiano Maybe this is a wild shot but you can try this out while you're waiting for Emsisoft to analyse your log. Open Emsisoft Anti Malware and go to " Settings " click on " Privacy " and uncheck the Use SSL encryption for all server communication" reboot and try to update.

JeremyNicoll 78 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Well, do you think the equivalent lines in your log look as if the commands concerned worked? DId they produce sensible answers? Do they show any headers or content for the test pages? And did the traceroute commands produce normal output? (Traceroute on my machine is normally disabled and as I didn't know until I ran it what the diagtool would do, no output from those commands is not a surprise to me.) I presume you're Italian... but are you using the machine in Italy? You're not in China or Egypt or somewhere where the government interfere with internet traffic? Do you have a software firewall on your machine (Windows Firewall, or some other one)? If so have you changed any of its rules lately? I have no idea what your machine's problem is; all I was trying to do was find out what appears to be working and what isn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JeremyNicoll 78 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 In your third post you showed an HTTP 504 error. A 504 means some machine (some form of proxy) timed-out. If that proxy isn't in your network, then I suppose it might be a problem in the CDN (Content Delivery Network) where Emsisoft host their updates. The way CDNs work, people in other countries don't see the same machines as - perhaps - you do. This might be something that you'll just have to wait for a fix for, unless Emsisoft support can point you at a different set of servers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Claudiano 2 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Yes, I can no longer download Emsisoft AntiMalware from the site, the same error Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeremyNicoll 78 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 There are websites where you can test if some other site is up or not. When I use those (in the UK) to test if arctic.emsisoft.com is up, they say it is. That means that a test message (a ping) sent to arctic.emsisoft.com gets replied to. It might be useful for you to see if there are any test sites in your country that you could ask if arctic.emsisoft.com is up. If nothing else it might prove to you that the problem is not on your machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Claudiano 2 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 In all other sites everything works, I downloaded some programs and everything right, only in Emsisoft comes that mistake, do what now? by the way I will have to uninstall Emsisoft and install another solution, because I can not run out of antivirus on my computer, since Emsisoft does not update Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeremyNicoll 78 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I just tried a site that says it tests websites from various locations, using: https://geopeeker.com/fetch/?url=cdn.emsisoft.com and also https://geopeeker.com/fetch/?url=arctic.emsisoft.com Both seemed to work, which isn't helpful. It means that the servers used by the test site could see the two emsisoft servers ok. Does your ISP have any online diagnostic tools if you look on their website? Or, do they have a status page that says whether they think their service is working ok? ISPs do more than just provide connectivity between you and them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless any of your other downloads were also coming from the same CDN you wouldn't see that problem. Most users have no idea what sorts of files come from CDNs and what come from ordinary webservers. If you download a file from a normal website, it very likely does not come from a CDN. For example, here in the UK many people download TV programmes "from the BBC". But in fact the files come from CDNs who host the files on behalf of the BBC. For Emsisoft, hosting updates on CDNs mean that other companies are responsible for hosting the files, all over the world. I think you're just unlucky and there's a problem with that in your part of the world at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You might be unlucky here, because (in the UK) it's now between Friday and Saturday - 2am or so - and Emsisoft support can be iffy over a weekend.

StU 0 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 @Claudiano: I had the same update issues last weekend. I switched to the beta-updates and restarted the machine. Since then the updates are running fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeremyNicoll 78 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 @StU - good idea, but unfortunately there's no beta available at the moment (nor was there last weekend). The beta & stable feeds are the same thing at the moment. That probably means that in your case restarting the machine fixed it, or the update servers themselves came back online. You can see that therer was no Beta if you read: http://changeblog.emsisoft.com/ On Sept 01, Emsisoft released 2017.8.0.7904 as a Stable update; that (if you look further down the page) was a Beta from 24 Aug.
