ritchie58 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hi peekaa, yes it is possible to temporarily kill & re-start Immunet without re-booting. The easiest way to do this is to use Command Prompts, here's how. First right click on the Immunet tray icon and select "Hide Tray Icon" from the little context menu. Now click on the Start button and type cmd in the Search bar and click on the little cmd icon that appears. This will launch a cmd window. Type exactly: net stop immunetprotect then press Enter. To re-start Immunet open another cmd window and type: net start immunetprotect then press Enter. To re-launch the GUI/tray icon click on the Immunet Desktop icon or the icon located in Immunet's All Programs folder. I use this method myself when installing legitimate Windows Update files just to speed things up a bit. "Just don't forget to turn Immunet back on afterwards though, lol!" Cheers, Ritchie...

peekaa Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thank you. That was the reason I was asking: all installation now last much longer.... Seems to me that the action "hiding tray icon" is not neccesary, for me it works witthout it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchie58 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Well, if you use the Hide Tray Icon feature this does kill iptray.exe (this controls the GUI). Then the cmd command kills sfc.exe (Immunet's main process). So using both of these methods does completely stop all of Immunet's processes. I would advise you to use this method very carefully. Just be absolutely sure that the software you're installing is legitimate and not compromised with spyware or malware. That's why I usually only use this method when updating my Operating System. Ordinarily "it really is best if you leave Immunet turned on when installing new software" just in case! Regards, Ritchie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
