Danforth Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Our Win2003 Standard SP2 installation was working fine for weeks (no other checkers active) until I upgraded to 3.0.5 last Friday. Since then, I noticed a popup over the tray icon saying an Immunet service had not started properly, and suggesting a reboot. The popup did not stick around long enough to read the service name properly, and there was no logged error in Event Viewer or that I could find in the Immunet program folder. However, the Immunet Service WAS running when I looked in Service Manager (and could be stopped ok when I tested that point later). Subsequently, I noticed that apps accessing files on the server were experiencing hangs. Uninstalling Immunet and rebooting was the only way to resolve them. I did a full/clean reinstall of 3.0.5 twice more, getting the same result each time. I even rebooted a second time after a successful reinstall, as the popup suggested, in case that really fixed it - it didn't. Local hangs were also occurring so I could not run the diagnostic tool. It's a show stopper - 3.0.5 has broken something that was fine under 3.0.4 and your installation process doesn't provide an obvious way to install the older version so I can use it again. Suggestions very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchie58 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Have you tried implementing any of the suggestions by RobT concerning performance degradation after updating to 3.0.5 located in this forum thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millard@immunet.com Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Dan, Besides the database cleanup that Ritchie mentioned, go to the command prompt as administrator and run "fltmc instances". You should see at least two drivers for Immunet and probably more if you have other things installed. If you don't see them, that's what pop-up was talking about. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>fltmc instances Filter Volume Name Altitude Instance Name ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ---------------- -------------------- ImmunetSelfProtectDriver C: 388530 ImmunetSelfProtect Instance ImmunetProtectDriver C: 388300 ImmunetProtect Instance If these are not listed and since you've already tried a clean re-install, then go to %PROGRAMFILES%\Immunet Protect\3.0.5\driver\ In the "ip" folder, you should see "immunetprotect.inf", you should be able to right-click on it and select "Install". The same is true for the is folder. --Millard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danforth Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 OK, I added 1GB of RAM and tried another install. Results: 1. Still get "ImmunetSelfProtect driver not installed" warning on startup 2. When I run "fltmc instances" it shows much what you reported -= two instances loaded, only one was for my C drive and one for D. So I didn't proceed with the IP/IS steps you mentioned as it appeared to be loaded ok, in spite of the error message. 3. As before, I was able to run the UI and start a Fastscan ok. 4. This was a totally clean install so I didn't bother clearing the History database etc. And there is no other virus checker installed. 5. I *did* turn off Blocking - the other items mentioned were already off, e.g. ClamAV 6. As yet, I have not had problems with access to files from network clients or locally, but it's early days 7. Another problem that occured with the first 3.05 install (but not under 3.04 or with Immunet uninstalled) is that a local drive-map I have set is NOT automatically reconnecting on reboot with 3.05. The drive assignment shows as present, but not connected unless I double-click it. Whereas if I uninstall 3.05 and reboot, it shows as both present AND connected. Issues 1 and 7 are as before, issue 6 is the real showstopper but I don't yet know if it is sorted. Thus far, it absence is the only change from the first trials I did with 3.05. I have run the SDT and will be emailing it to support@ now. I tried to run EventLogs.bat also but, on my Win2003 Standard, at least, it does not recognise the wevtutil command, whether because it's not on the system path or whatever.

As yet, I have not had problems with access to files from network clients or locally, but it's early days Having had time to test properly now, the above problem is definitely there in all its sad glory. And after leaving Immunet 3.05 running overnight, I cannot even access the locally-mapped drive locally. Or indeed load my mail client locally, which doesn't use the mapped drive. [Mail client WAS working for the first hour or so of my testing]. Something in the code changes made between 3.04 and 3.05 really bunged things up for Win2003, or at least our installation of it. Now uninstalling, to make the server usable again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danforth Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I got an emailed support ticket for this five days ago, when I emailed in the diagnostic log. But no response from a human as yet. Is that about normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danforth Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Bump. No response from Immunet support on this matter, other than the robot-generated email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchie58 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi Danforth, It is a little odd you have not received a response yet. I know the programmers are very busy right now finalizing things to get the new Enterprise version of Immunet ready to roll out. Might I suggest that you send Millard and RobT a "private message" that you're still waiting for a response to your SDT report. I wish I could help you out further but I have nothing to do with the programming aspects of Immunet. Best wishes, Ritchie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Sunday so I'll wait a day or two more I guess, but I'm pretty much at the "got to install SOMETHING, so look elsewhere" stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGodfather Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Cannot access Network drives on Windows Home Sever 2011 AFTER installing Immunet 3.05. My server never had any previous versions of Immunet installed. This sounds like one of the issues encountered by Danforth. I de-intalled Immunet 3.05 and there are no more issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millard@immunet.com Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 DaGodFather, I'm debugging this with Danforth. Are you having warnings about self protect or are you just getting the network drives disconnected? I think their two separate issues, but was curious. --Millard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their two separate issues, but was curious. --Millard The only problem I am having is that the visible Network computer, which is WHS 2011, is not accessible. Also, prior to installing your software, I had mapped a drive on my Win 7 PC to a shared folder on WHS 2011. That also is not accessible. UPDATE ON 12-17-2011 You can consider my issue resolved. Under 'Protection Exclusions', I added 'D:\ServerFolders' as an exclusion and all is well. 'ServerFolders' is the Network folder name I chose when I installed WHS 2011. For completeness, I am also running Drive Bender and Threatfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
