Highjack this log, please...my first time

I neglected to tell you that I also have HP share to web but I didn't think of it because I don't use it anymore, I didn't like it...It was taking too long to upload pics. Anyway, I have HP share to web icon on my desktop that's how I know I have that...SO I can still go ahead to do your VBS file? or use that patch? I know I am confused but I gotta make sure!!!!

Just had a look at that patch...it does exactly the same as what my VBS file does, just in a different format. You can use either one...they both exactly the same thing.

 :flowers:  :hug: HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!! Everything is working including avast!!! I looked at task manager to find Verclsid.exe and it wasn't in there at all. I looked carefully and I decided to check in My Documents folder to see if it is working anyway....I was so happy to see no more hangs!!! It worked and I checked avast also working great!! Oh my!!! You should see me dancing around  :lol:Then I went ahead reboot making sure....My only regret is that I took off avast then install another avast, that was totally unnecessary but no one knew. I was right all along when my suspicions was that it happened after new updates. Now I will go post in avast forum and tell them! They avoided my posts after I told them installed new avast didn't help. YOU HELPED ME!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! You  bet I will be a loyal member here.  :thumbsup: I won't forget ever! God bless you! You save me money from going to *repair shop* I knew it has to be something easy to fix. Now you know why my friends called me *ramblinrose*  :lol: Can you tell I am happy?  :hysterical: Take care,SpyDie big hugs to you, Rose PS I forgot to ask..what about vbs file? I should delete it or save it to where?

Thought I responded to your post last night, obviously I didn't hit the 'post' button!

Anyway, glad all is working OK for you now. Happy to help :)

As for the VBS file, it is not needed anymore, you can delete it safely  :)

   Does your VBS file "replace" all or part of Microsoft's "Resolution" for KB908531,
   shown as follows :

  "RESOLUTION
• Hewlett-Packard's Share-to-Web software. The MS06-015 (908531) (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-015.mspx) security update includes a "white list"; VERCLSID.EXE will not scan any extension that appears on this list. Adding the HP shell extension corrects the problem. Manually edit the registry:1. Log on to the computer with an account with administrator privileges.
2. Click the Start button and then click Run.
3. Type Regedit and then click OK.
4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Cached
5. Right-click "Cached", point to New, click "DWORD Value", and then enter: {A4DF5659-0801-4A60-9607-1C48695EFDA9} {000214E6-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} 0x401

6. Set the Data of this value to 1
7. Close the Registry Editor.
8. Use Task Manager to end the Verclsid.exe process or restart the computer. "

   Which of Steps 1 through 8 does it replace ? I ask because if others on the Avast
Antivirus Support forums have similar problem(s), I would like to recommend your
"VBS file" !?

Basically my VBS files simply does the registry change Microsoft detail in that article. So, in effect, when using the VBS file I created, the user will have to launch that one file instead of doing the steps 1 - 7. Step 8, which is terminating the VERCLSID.exe process can be done manually or done by scripting but seeing as it doesn't seem to matter whether or not it is done, I didn't bother including it in my script. (With ramblinrose the process wasn't there anywhere, so she rebooted the computer, and it worked perfectly. So 'killing' that process isn't neccesarily needed)

Sure go ahead and recommend it, it's a simple file, anyone could have created it :) Hopefully it will help others.

[Corrine]

anyone could have created it

Well, no.  Not anyone and I wouldn't trust a script written by just anyone.  However, anything written by the Jedi Master -- SpyDie -- will work or it wasn't really broken in the first place.  :lol:

[ramblinrose]

I'd agree with Corrine...but I did trust spydie so I did it....Thank you spydie!!!!  :thumbsup:
