It would be better if the database version is shown on the main page along with CCE version. Although it updates to the latest bases, it does not show any indication. Even if the update fails for any reason, we should be able to know which version we are using.
I some how felt very much lost, when I saw that the selection boxes before the threats list is gone and that I can not choose files to ignore individually anymore.
I only have a chance to ignore the whole malware group, no individual selection…I do not quite understand why such a huge change in behaviour is added without ever mentioning in beta…
The databae update issue was because of a ayncronization issue with our package builder and update servers. Because of this problem, the archives did not contain the proper CCE.exe and hence it has this issue with updating.
We have fixed the issue. Please download archives again to get the correct package which doesnt have this update issue.
There is a sticky about that topic in the CCE main board here
As the CCE shares it’s database with CIS it also shares it’s FP’s so it would be confusing to run 2 threads for FP’s not to mention the extra overhead to the First Response Group members to keep track of all posts to watch.
Previous version 2.x? worked OK. Latest shows old problems from 1.7 & 1.9.
Win 7 SP1 64 bit
Have redownloaded zip file. Problem same whether run from PC or from USB stick
Custom scan works always Smart scan may need reboot to start & complete otherwise closes after 17 seconds. Why can’t you update database unless scan is run? finalisation takes a long time, I have a Q9550(!), & doesn’t always complete. Close & restart CCE & update shows 50% immediately. Autoruns now only completes if run in Vista SP2 compatibility mode, otherwise it starts & closes within 10 seconds. This is however you start program: from folder icon, from killswitch menu or option in CCE.
Run as abministrator has no effect on success.
Killswitch works ok
Not had to use to clean PC thankfully but I like the option of having this for emergency use.
