Hi Lately, it seems that every day wireshark uninstalls itself running windows 7 pro. Add / Remove programs shows it is no longer installed. I've tried versions 1.6.x and 1.8.x and both do the same thing. It had been working for a while but now everdayit goes away. I run GFI vipre antimalware and it has never detected a virus. The program is great and it helped me pass CompTIA's Network+ Exam. Ever heard of this? It reinstalls with no problems. My name is Marty Chapman and my email address is: [email protected]snet.net Your help would be much appreciated Thank you Marty asked 15 Oct '12, 23:24  MartyC58 |
One Answer:
Wireshark does not do that. Something else on your system might uninstall Wireshark. Could be some malware or a malware scanner (GFI).
Well, that does not necessarily mean, that there is no malware ;-) I suggest to check your system with a bootable CDROM of another vendor (Kaspersky, Avast, F-Secure, etc.). Search google for: virus scanner boot cd If no malware is detected, maybe your GFI malware scanner deletes Wireshark, because it thinks it's a "hacker tool". Disable VIPRE, disconnect the PC from the Internet and let it run for 1-2 days. Check if Wireshark still gets uninstalled. If it still get's uninstalled, some other "security" software might cause the trouble. Regards answered 16 Oct '12, 03:20  Kurt Knochner ♦ |
