Hi,

Is this true??

Ever since I installed All-In-One-Secret-Maker or something it always says something like this!
E.g. When I open notepad or paint it says the same thing, but I just tick the box and click ‘deny’ cause it’s notepad and it doesn’t really need to go on the net. I think ???

Thanks,

Henry

Well, so you answered your own question. It’s “All-In-One-Secret-Maker” that is causing this (true or false, it doesn’t matter) alarm from ZA.

Buy I uninstalled it ??? :-\

By the way the picture is about avast splash screen if you guys didn’t realise :stuck_out_tongue:

Of course, but this only proves how TRIVIAL is to trick all those protections (ZA, ProcessGuard and other). It’s as simple as loading to another process’ address space - and the monitoring application then reports it as a problem of the host application (not the injector). (You said ZA issues the same warnings for ANY app, including Notepad and Solitaire).

So, even if you uninstalled it, there’s undoubtly something left on your machine that is causing this…
Since I don’t know the application at all, you best bet would probably be to contact its producer and ask them for help…

Thanks

ZA does this to me for any programme which requires a keyboard input. Which is what the programme is saying. You have ZApro and the trust level is picking this up, I allow all these programmes access to the trusted area but deny to internet. Works for me with no problems

6

it’s saying it for everything I open now :o

7

In that case you have a problem with za, maybe it is not remembering your preference changes on shutdown (a known problem) but as VLK says it may be related to secret maker. I did try that programme once but it was not for me and it did take a lot to get rid of it properly

8

I’m going to try rebooting see if that makes a different

9

Before you reboot check the programme permissions on za are what you want, then shutdown za then reboot your system and the settings should be saved

YAY!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
It’s working now!! ;D ;D :smiley: ;D
I had to reboot my computer after I uninstalled that $tup… all in one secret maker thing.

Anyways thanks for the help guys ;D

:slight_smile: To COMPLETELY REMOVE a program, you need to do more
than just “uninstall” it; in addition, you should use your
machine’s “Search”, click “All files and folders”, put in the
appropiate search “term” and “delete” all appropiate
entries that are listed. As a further precaution, consider
running a SAFE “registry cleaner” to remove entries there.
