Can you enable scheduled scans, then uncheck the option "si je manque l'heure planifee...", then disable scheduled scans.

What is your scan schedule set to?

Hmm, ST will only scan following a schedule (as configured in the settings). What version of ST are you using?

is the 100% CPU related to the Spyware Scan, or Real-Time Protection? The long time after the scan is because of the generation of the scan report. This will be improved with version 2.1. Scan time improvement is one of the main focuses of version 2.1.

So: ST on = 100% cpu ST off = 0-2% cpu ??

OK i'll stop the translation . Yeah I saw your post. Thanks for the comment/rating. It will take a long time to convince other people that Spyware Terminator is not a bad program... It took over three months for Assiste.com.free.fr...

Google Translated: -------------------------- C'est parce qu'il ya une différence entre les opinions négatives et de fausses allégations. Les avis négatifs = il est trop lente, elle est trop rapide, il utilise trop de mémoire vive, il a un trop grand nombre de processus, il manque une fonctionnalité, il a un trop grand nombre de fonctionnalités, etc Faux réclamations = il est logiciels espions, l'adware, il a, il est dangereux, il est dévoyé, SpywareWarrior encore inscrit comme voyous, Assiste.com.free.fr sur les listes, il Craptheque la page, etc Je ne pense pas que vous entendez fausses allégations concernant Kaspersky, SpyBot, etc que nous entendons souvent que de fausses allégations sur Spyware Terminator ... Original English: -------------------------- That is because there is a difference between negative opinions and false claims. Negative opinions = it is too slow, it is too fast, it uses too much RAM, it has too many processes, it is missing a feature, it has too many features, etc. False claims = it is spyware, it has adware, it is malicious, it is rogue, SpywareWarrior still lists it as rogue, Assiste.com.free.fr lists it on the Craptheque page, etc. I don't think you hear false claims about Kaspersky, SpyBot, etc. as often as we hear false claims about Spyware Terminator...

Translated by Google: Bon à entendre. Je ne sais pas tout français, je suis désolé. Je crois qu'il est nécessaire d'être ici parce que des gens bavure nom de la bonne Spyware Terminator, et il n'est pas beaucoup là pour la défendre. Je travaille pour Spyware Terminator par la route. En fin de compte, vous êtes probablement de copier mon post dans Google Translate (ou un service similaire), si bien que je ne suis pas sûr que cela importe si je poste en français parce que j'ai aussi utiliser Google Translate pour faire mon message en français. Ainsi, le poste le contenu sera le même grammaticalement pauvres, quelle qu'elle soit, traduit en français . Original English: Good to hear. I do not know any French, I am sorry. I feel it necessary to be here because of people smearing the good name of Spyware Terminator, and there not being many out there to defend it. I work for Spyware Terminator by the way. In the end, you are probably going to copy my post into Google Translate (or a similar service), so I am not sure if it matters if I post in French because I too will use Google Translate to make my post in French. So the post content will be the same grammatically poor translated French either way .

I apologize for using English, first off. I wish to report that the Craptheque page appears to have been removed: http://assiste.com.free.fr/p/craptheque/sp..._termintor.html (dead link) Also, that report about "The Bat!" is from a little while ago (June 2007) and has since been fixed. No security software is safe from false positives, even Kaspersky. The people who run "The Bat!" went a little overboard with their comments about Spyware Terminator, in my opinion. Oh well...but their problem has been fixed for a while now.

Excellent. Happy to hear everything is solved. Sacles does deserve a pat on the back . It is threads like this one which not only make my job easy, but increase my respect for a forum. ~~ traduction ci-dessous, post #66 ~~ (ipl_001)

Thanks for the translation, ipl001. OK, illico2006. Please report any problems with the update. Thanks. ~~ traduction au post 60 (ipl_001)

Sorry for going off topic, ipl001. The file I have is 25KB. It might be different sizes for different languages. I am not sure. If you view the file in notepad, you should see the link "http://www.spywareterminator.com/Dnl/files...atorSetup.1.exe" somewhere in there. All versions of the file are not malicious. Unfortunately we do not support a streamlined update from 1.X to 2.0 (meaning, the user can not click update in Update tab and get an automatically applied update). Too much of the core program was updated in 2.0, so the user must run the setup file to upgrade to 2.0. You may use the link above in a download manager like FlashGet, FreeDownloadManager, Getright, etc. which is the upgrade for users using 1.9 and earlier. (Unfortunately, too many of our users do not know how to use download managers or have the tolerance for them which was the reason for this 15-25KB file)

Me too.

Management has informed me that until the false positive is fixed we have reverted back to the original means of updating - meaning, users skip this 25KB file and go right to the 7MB file when clicking update in the Update tab. Unfortunately users on slow connections will have to suffer through this long download. ~~ traduction au post 56 (ipl_001)

Some user brought this to our attention on our forum. The updater downloads a small file (25KB) which is meant to address our users on slow internet connections. This file will download the full setup file (over 7MB) in a resumable fashion so our users on slower connections can obtain the upgrade from 1.9.X to 2.0. We are attempting to get our 1.9 users to upgrade to 2.0 as soon as possible. This file is not malicious is any way and does not include a trojan. Running the file will download http://www.spywareterminator.com/Dnl/files...atorSetup.1.exe to the same folder as the file (I watched all HTTP connections after running the file). This is the setup file for upgrading 1.9.X to 2.0. edit: We are going to contact these companies and get this false positive fixed. ~~ traduction au post 54 (ipl_001)

I don't mind that kind of information when a user comes asking for background information about Spyware Terminator. But I do mind this kind of information when it is in response to a problem a user has. The user has chosen to use the software and has a problem with it. The solution does not involve convincing the user that the software is bad and that removal is the only cure. Instead of trying to dissaude the user from using the software title, why not just try to help him solve the problem? I can understand if the problem is with ROGUE software which causes problems, but Spyware Terminator is not a "problem" and the user has chosen to use it. I may work for Spyware Terminator, but when users come to our forum asking for advice on how to fix certain issues with competing products and conflicts with our software I try to help in any way I can.

I appreciate that you chose not to devalue Spyware Terminator in ways that I usually expect from users of this forum.

I don't understand your response. Translation services did not help .

It says "might" for a reason. I am not one who sits and monitors the data servers, but "might" refers to the selective process of sending anonymous data. I do not know how it works, but you should educate yourself with the policies of Google, Yahoo, MSN, and every other search engine on the planet (you do use search engines, right?). They all say the same word - "Might". We collect the data, compile it internally, and analyze it and then do some work to better suit our users. For example, if we have something in our search engine which users avoid based on the pooled anonymous data, don't you think it is in our best interests to CHANGE it? Or if we find a certain advertisement is popular among our users, don't you think it is in our best interests to make more advertisements like it? That is what the kind of decisions that are made with search engines like ours, Google, Yahoo, etc. I don't understand "whispering". Every major advertising company uses anonymous statistics to determine whether an advertisement is good or bad. If you goto Times Sqaure (New York), everything you see on the billboards has been statistically determined to be profitable. Let me give you a good example: Here in the US, and I'm sure in France as well, every advertisement you see has these perfect women, perfect curves, big breasts, perfect legs, etc. And men like that, of course. However, a certain percent of the female population spoke out and complained about this, and now a couple of big companies, Dove (body cleansing products) and Fruit of the Loom (underwear products) have made aggressive advertising campaigns showing women who are more "normal" with more "normal" curves. Those advertisements are based off of anonymous data gathered from people who use their products and view their advertisements. These new campaigns have been very successful. So it only pays for these companies to aggregate anonymous data to shape and transform their advertisements to better suit their customers to garner sales. That is exactly what search engines do. They aggregate data indicating what people click on, what people avoid, how they view a page etc. These are the kinds of questions which are answered by the data. -There are four major Operating Systems (Windows, Mac, Linux, Mobile OS). Operating system data will tell us if its worh putting efforts into a Mac, Linux or Mobile OS page. -There are several variants of Windows (95,98,ME,NT,2k,XP,Vista). Operating system data will tell us if its worth developing a page for 95 users, 98 users, ME, 2k, etc. -There are several popular screen resolutions out there (800x600,1024x768,1280x1024,etc.). Screen resolution data will tell us if its worth making a page that is 1000 pixels wide, 1200 pixels wide, 1600 pixels wide, etc. -There are several popular browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc.). Browser data will tell us if its worth developing a page that is fully compliant with FF, Opera, Safari, etc. -There are 194 nations in the world. IP data will tell us if its worth our time to develop a page for people in specific countries. -Time and date data tell us when our services and products perform best so we can put efforts into making our site the best during certain times and dates. -We have several different groups of users who prefer different ads. Search data will tell us how well our ads perform and whether it is worth exploring better deals, new deals, modified deals, new advertisements, etc. This is the kind of stuff you get from the anonymous data. In a world of dollars and cents, where time is money, you need this kind of data to develop a page which users will enjoy. Id say the biggest one is probably the screen resolution. You do not know how many people use 800x600 screen resolution. Why do you think Spyware Terminator minimum requirements are 800x600 screen resolution? There are SO MANY users with 800x600 that it would be stupid to lock them out by making a program that is 1024x768 pixels. The window fits just within the limits of 800x600 so we can support those 800x600 users. It is the same with designing the homepages for Crawler software and products. This is the kind of work Google does. This is the kind of work Yahoo! does. This is the kind of work major TV advertisers do. This is the kind of work radio advertisers do. Without this kind of information, advertising would fail all together. To some this might be a perfect world, but advertising is what makes many of your favorite services free: TV, radio, free software, free search engines, free video services, YouTube, etc. I dont think you would be happy if YouTube had to close doors, or your public TV channels went to cable/satellite TV, etc. And your last comment, are you referring to our subscription services? Spyware Terminator Corporate is only $2/license ($20 for 10 licenses). And our other services listed here: http://www.xacti.com/products/services.aspx they are not expensive either (I have never used them so I do not know about their quality). Yes a good portion of our revenue comes from subscription services, as listed on that page. But the majority of our revenue comes from advertising deals, partnership deals with companies like Google, etc.

Thats fine, I dont mind the opinions of our features from users. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Im not trying to convince you to use Spyware Terminator. My intention here is to get the false claims to stop. And unfortunately you are not helping the case by avoiding the questions I have posed specifically to YOU to answer from the Assiste.com craqptheque page. NicM said he tested Spyware Terminator, as I requested him to do on WildersSecurity forums. I wait for the results to appear. If the tests are good, then great. If they are bad, NicM will send the samples to our development team and we will be able to fix the vulnerabilities.

The arguing is necessary because people on this forum keep making claims that they can not backup and refuse to backup. If people would just stop making claims or throwing out false claims and just READ we would not have a problem. (Claims like - crawler is transparent, crawler steals information, toolbars are spyware, etc.) I'm not sure you are very clear with our privacy policy...I am not sure if you are reading it either. http://www.spywareterminator.com/legal/privacy.aspx Information Collection Visiting and using Crawler Services may result in Crawler receiving performance and usage information (such as search term, time of day, browser type, default language setting, IP address, an anonymous identifier). This information will not be used to personally identify you. In simple English: Crawler MIGHT collect anonymous usage statistics (time of day, browser type, default language, ip address, search terms, etc.) which can NOT identify you. I have brought this up several times (the statement above). Basically the ONLY information which COULD BE shared is: -your search term -your time and date of the search -your default language setting when using Crawler software -your browser type and version -your IP address -a unique anonymous identifier (which is just to separate each user from the next for internal statistics) Sharing of Information Crawler does not collect any personally identifiable information unless provided by you, and we will not share, rent or sell any of your personally identifiable information provided by you. We may share aggregated non-personally identifiable information with third parties outside of Crawler. Aggregate non-personally identifiable information is recorded about users and collected into groups so that it no longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user. We may disclose some information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal requirements. In simple english: -Crawler does not collect any information which can indentify you, unless the information is provided by you (which is the case when you e-mail us, call us, fax us, etc.). -All the information collected is NOT sold (these is a practice which distinguishes a toolbar as spyware). -The anonymous data (specified above), which is collected, is pooled together (for internal statistics) so that it does not refer to an individual user. -We may share the pooled data (which can not identify any specific user) with 3rd party companies. (This statement refers to statistical data whic helps to facilitate business deals) -If we are ordered a court order, or subpoenas, we might have to disclose some information as bound by these legal documents. How do we transform information into money? The information is used to dictate to us how our users are using our software and how we should tailor items to our users. This dictates to us how we should do advertising deals, who to advertise with, who to partner with, etc. We don't sell information. I'm not sure how much more clear I can make this. Our annual revenues do NOT come from selling anonymous information. Our annual revenues from: -our subscription services: http://www.xacti.com/products/services.aspx -our corporate licensing with Spyware Terminator -just installing our toolbar -searching our search engine (which causes users to view sponsored results in the search page) -clicking advertisements

I can't control when people use other security forums to solve their problems. We don't mind it, but we hope that when users do ask for help from these forums they are not flooded with extra unnecessary negative information for how to remove Spyware Terminator. The information is unnecessary for solving the problem and does not help the original poster. I may be the only one thinking it is unnecessary, but I think the original poster would have had the same solution to the problem WITHOUT the extra information.

cyrilcvcf: you keep saying that im hiding the intents of Crawler Toolbar and never explained their intents. I explained everything VERY clearly in posts 62, 65 and 68 after you asked me very clearly what the toolbar is, what its for and whats its most important functions are. I cant help you if you refuse to read, so please read below (which also appears in posts 62, 65, and 68 if you dont believe me) and then get back to me with your claims. In summary: Crawler Toolbar is a toolbar similar to Google, Yahoo, etc. Its intents are to facilitate searches on our search engine, Crawler.com, because research would definitely show people are more inclined to search via a toolbar than by the webpage. Users installing the toolbar generates revenue. Users using the toolbar generates revenue. The money comes from advertising deals, business deals, affiliate deals, etc. There are no dark, malicious spyware deals anywhere. When I have I laughed at anyone? This discussion has been pretty serious in nature. You make me out to be some kind of rogue spy or something, hiding some big secret about Crawler and Spyware Terminator. What have I not revealed? I've told you how we make money - advertising, affiliate deals, business deals, toolbar installs, toolbar use, search engine use, etc. I've told you how Crawler operates - we are a search engine business model. I've told you how we handle information - our privacy policy states that we do not collect personal information UNLESS contacted by the user in the form of e-mails. And even then, that information is only used for future contact with the user if we need to contact the user. All other information is anonymous in nature and does not uniquely identify you. I suggest you read our privacy policy again. I've told you how Spyware Terminator is free - it is supported by our search engine revenue model. I've told you how Spyware Terminator operates. I've explained to you our stance on toolbars, something you dont agree with because you think we are providing something that should be removed by Spyware Terminator. Here I told you that Spyware Terminator removes only MALICIOUS toolbars or spyware toolbars, which means toolbars which have malicious intents or SELL the information it gathers to 3rd parties. Safe toolbars from Google and Yahoo and the sort are not SPYWARE and there is no reason whatsoever to remove them. Horus and I had our discussion on opt-in / opt-out. Opt-out certainly generates more installs of our toolbar, and in a world of dollars and cents it would be stupid to make it opt-in. Horus doesn't agree and you probably do not either, but that is too bad. We are doing nothing wrong in making it opt-out, Google uses opt-out, Yahoo uses opt-out. Go complain to them as well, and see what they say. I guarantee that you will receive the same response from them. This was all explained in my multitude of posts in this thread. When I have I made fun of anyone? I am the one receiving the personal attacks here, and I have not once complained about it. I do not like it, but I am not going to drop to your level or Horus' level and start personal attacks on either of you. I've seen the word "Tocard" used with reference to me, several times. I didn't come here to advertise. I came here to discuss, find out the root of the problem with the Assiste.com craptheque page, and no one is providing me hard evidence, not even Horus when I have asked him repeatedly. Sacles: The name Web Security Guard is used because you get that tool with Spyware Terminator. If you goto www.crawler.com and install the toolbar from crawler.com, you will NOT get the Web Security Guard software by default with the toolbar. Users can clearly see in the Spyware Terminator installer that Web Security Guard uses Crawler Toolbar from the image, so if the user does not want this feature they simply opt-out. There is no transparency here. bleuet: I reply here when I see replies from users of the forum. I saw replies so I replied. My apologies. I can have MacPeter translate my responses if you want. I do not think the development team would be willing to do that for a two reasons: 1) the program is closed source, it is not open source. So it would go against our license. 2) frankly, we would not trust our sources in the hands of Pierre. This is not meant to single him out...we would not trust our sources in the hands of any independently run website. There should be enough tools available on the web (for free) which can accurately analyze the full range of abilities of Crawler Toolbar (packet analyzers, resource hackers, bandwidth meters, CPU meters, etc.). There is no personal information given to our sponsors. No names, no addresses, no age, etc. Everything that we collect is accurately defined in Crawler's Privacy Policy as in line with other major search engines. In short: we don't sell, share or distribute any personal information from our users: From Crawler Privacy Policy: http://www.spywareterminator.com/legal/privacy.aspx From Google Privacy Policy: http://www.google.com/privacy.html From Yahoo! Privacy Policy: http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/details.html From MSN Privacy Policy: http://mobile.msn.com/device/en-us/privacy.aspx

This I realize. However, cyrilcvcf has been active in this thread for a long time now, and we have had back and forth discussions about Crawler software. I am not sure how he is able to say that I have not fully explained Crawler's software and values.

What have I not explained with regards to ST or the toolbar? Ignoring my posts (as you have stated previously) is preventing you from seeing certain information so I am unsure what you are seeing and what you are not.
