  7. Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so precise steps to make it happen: no I can’t, because AdvancedDefrag.exe is erased. And I’ve no other bad file (I’ll hope . . . )

Thank you very much for your bug report in standard format. We very much appreciate the effort you have made to document this bug.

We are sorry to trouble you further but there are some items of information missing or unclear in your post

  • B.1Your active process list, so we can check for software incompatibilities etc.
  • B.5. The dump file created when CIS crashed. (Follow the red link in the format to find out how to locate this.

The reasons we need these items of information, though they may not seem directly relevant to the issue are explained here.

We would be very grateful if you would add these items of information so we can forward this post to the format verified board, where it is more likely to get fixed. You can find assistance using red links in the Format and here. If you need further help please ask a mod. If you do not add the information after a week we will forward this post to the non-format board. If this happens we will tell you how to rectify this if you wish to.

In the current process we will normally leave it up to you whether you want to make a report which includes all necessary information or not. We may remind you if we think a bug of particular importance.

Many thanks again

I assume then that the German says CIS needs to restart the computer to clean the virus. Is this correct?

Best wishes
