kv7ca.exe; Vault log file location

Post by jlhsd » Fri Dec 16, 2005 1:13 pm

1.
Is KV7CA.exe a Vault executable?
After installing Vault, I'm seing this running in memory. It' located in the c:\winnt\temp folder and has a dog icon. It doesn't have a version tab when looking at the properties so I can't tell who created it. It has a created date/time that is the same time I installed Vault so I'm hoping it has something to do with Vault. It's kind of a suspicious name.

2.
I also made the mistake of using the default location for the Vault log file location of c:\winnt\temp. Is there a way to relocate it to a less inconspicuous folder like c:\vault?

No, haven't seen this before and an Internet search turned up nothing. Strange. Forum members -- anyone know what this might be?

Yes, you can change the location of the log in the Admin Tool->Server Options->Logging.

kv7ca - part of Trend Micro virus scanning

Post by jlhsd » Fri Dec 16, 2005 2:54 pm

YIKES! :shock:

I didn't realize it, but our IS department just pushed out Trend Micro OfficeScan virus protection yesterday. Appearently Trend Micro decided it was wise to use random names for it's executables and to put them in the Windows/temp folder. I can't believe someone would make a virus scanning software with executables that look like viruses.

Thanks for the reply :)

My guess would be that this makes it harder for virus authors to target the antivirus software and try to disable it.
