Category: Help Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Peter Brigg (wintings) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Problem after installing WinXP SP2 Initial Comment: Not so much a bug as a "How to?" issue. After installing WindowsXP SP2, each time I boot up my PC, Windows Security Centre pops up some text in the DQSD bar saying that there is a security risk running scripts... blah, blah.... If I then right-click the text, it allows me to ignore the warning, and after another Yes/No dialogue box I can run DQSD as normal. But it's annoying to have to go through this palaver after every system boot. I'm looking for a one-time permanent fix. Investigating the Windows Security settings shows that you can exclude programs from its embrace but I can't find the exe file for DQSD. Can anyone help please? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Peter Brigg (wintings) Date: 2004-08-19 01:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=605581 Yes, that's fixed it. Thanks, guys. And such a quick response, too. I'm impressed! As regards security, I'm running Norton AV and ZoneAlarm firewall, so I hope I'll be protected from malware -- but obviously a 'waterproof' fix for DQSD would be very welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Thad Kerosky (thadk) Date: 2004-08-18 14:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=97620 I posted the instructions to disable the general explorer.exe security at http://www.dqsd.net/sp2.htm . Like Kim said, no guarantees with respect to malware getting in through the leftover hole. I suppose I should add another disclaimer to that page too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kim Gr�sman (kimgrasman) Date: 2004-08-18 12:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=551308 Hi Peter, The .exe you want to exclude is explorer.exe. DQSD is hosted in Windows Explorer, hence this oddity. We still haven't gotten around to investigating any security implications of doing this, though, so disable the protection at your own risk. It should be safe, but I can't make any guarantees. We'll look into adding an entry on this to the FAQ later/asap.
