• Silent Runners Update (R41)

  Silent Runners R41 adds a new section for Print Monitors and fixes a bug when checking for the Session Manager\BootExecute value. It is recommended that you download Silent Runners R41 and delete earlier versions. Print Monitors -------------- Print Monitor "driver" values are found in the subkeys of: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors Print Monitors enable communication with the printer. Such communication can be bidirectional (if the printer supports it) and can allow the printer to send unsolicited messages to the client. At least one adware critter exploits this location: http://tinyurl.com/boap8 and I can confirm that print monitors are launched at Windows startup. BootExecute Bug ------------------- The value is now confirmed to exist before it is tested. The launch points list on the web site has been updated. http://www.silentrunners.org/sr_launchpoints.html The updated script (R41) can be found here: http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent%20Runners.vbs A zipped version can be found here: http://www.silentrunners.org/Silent%20Runners.zip Posted Oct 07 2005, 01:00 PM by siljaline with no comments
