Takeshi; thank you for your reply! Mind explaining what you mean with that? -how this is done unattendedly.

Well, im actually gona implement any security regs to an app im making myself, but I guess the way would be to auto update blocklist and manually make a reg file for zones and coockies from spywareblaster

Humm I simply did a regshot while "running" SpywareBlaster, and the only changes made were in HKU... but ill try again and see if I can get a different result. Hmmm would sure like it If I could make an app that autoupdates the def that SpyBot or SpywareBlaster uses and then implements, the same way I did with www.spywareguide.com/blocklist.reg (blocks 3531 atm. activeX controllers). Wouldnt have an idea how to do so?

Any ideas? Im kinda stuck here at HKLM not knowing if things work or not!

What Is the Ctfmon.exe File? Ctfmon.exe activates the Alternative User Input Text Input Processor (TIP) and the Microsoft Office Language Bar. What Does the Ctfmon.exe File Do? Ctfmon.exe monitors the active windows and provides text input service support for speech recognition, handwriting recognition, keyboard, translation, and other alternative user input technologies. more information here... Can I Remove the Ctfmon.exe Process from running in the background? Yes, with the following reg entry, CTFMON is prevent from ever starting up. More information in above link. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "ctfmon.exe"=- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CTF] "Disable Thread Input Manager"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CTF\MSUTB] "ShowDeskBand"=dword:00000000

Uhm, yeh why would you wanna do this exactly?

Thank you Bi0haZarD!

Yeh, that's what im doing. I exported the regchanges made with SpyWareBlaster found with regshot from HKCU\S-1-5-21....SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\... Then changed path to above HKLM, however as previously staded this does not add to the list of restricted zones in IE, and does not copy to HKCU\samepath, and I have no idea how to test if a site is really restricted or not.

SpyWare blaster puts it under HKU\S-1-5-21-xxxx\software... How can I know if it works or not? I believe not, cause it does not appear in zone list, and are not "copied" to HKCU.

It only appears under HKLM, not HKCU (even after reboot) and not in Security zones options thingy.

If I add keys under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains I't does'nt appear under zones. Only If I add under HKU... -sure its correct with HKLM...?

I knew about the activeX blocker, as I made an app that autoimplements the latest blocklist from spywareguide.com during UA, and checks for updates on run, but not the other two, thank you!

How can I implement my list of restricted areas in IE secuirty options during UA setup? (Don't know the exact translation of the setting, as I'm running .no OS)

I take it the $OEM$ and regsvr32 method is not what you'r looking for, as you have probably read about it, whilst searching. The method is however how I do it, and it works perfectly and is easy to update at new WGA releases.

My bad, DL. is correct.

Remove (or comment out) the following from your .reg file. ; cmd prompt enhancements: tab key completes path+filenames, UNC checks off [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor] "CompletionChar"=dword:00000008 "PathCompletionChar"=dword:00000008 "DisableUNCCheck"=dword:00000001

May I suggest using AutoIt MacroGenerator to "record" your action while you click Next and see what that picks up.

AutoIt is scripting yes, but AutoIt Macro Generator will record your actions and do most the work for you

AutoIt is what you are looking for

Nope, sorry, no clue what so ever

FYI: I noticed that on my testmachine the SPTDinst window text did not match with your script, cause it updates, so the text would be 'This program will update SCSI'. Ofc this would not happen at T-12 on a fresh install

Hehe excellent! I like this one better Why did you remove the cleanup though?

MHz: Thank you for your verry informative post! I see your point... Allow me to track off topic and explain why I mentioned it. On a previous install-script that I made for Adobe Illustrator I ran into a problem with a dialog notifying you that QuickTim is not installed during the file-copy process. The dialog would occure at a random time, and therefore I initially did a WinWait with timeout of 300 sec! This long delay because it could actually take up to a couple of min for the popup to occure, depending on HW. Now you can imagine that if QuickTime do exist on the system, the script would halt an annoying 300 sec for nothing. I solved this after reading a few of your posts with A select case loop. It now closes the dialog immediatly when it occures and does nothing if it never occures. But I can see why using a select case loop at your above script would be a bit overkill. Keep up the good work...

Make love not war (and use google ffs)

Looking good! I'll update my UA DVD. One thing though, NOT to correct you in any way, cause your autoit skills are über... But shouldnt you use a select case at your SPTD script? so you wouldnt have to have a 20 sec timeout on the WinWaits? Guess it would speed up the execution?
