Difficulty Connecting To Trojanhunter/Swat-it Live Updates

[Paul Keene]

Hi All:

I am running a Win2K Pro 2GZ P4 system, McAfee Virus scan disabled, I have
no firewall (That I am aware of), no router, and have just installed a copy
of the latest Trojan Hunter 3.8.

When doing the live update, the message says "Preparing to Connect";
"Hostname lookup successful", then the CPU Usage skyrockets to 100% and I
cannot close the Live Update unless I use CTL+ALT+DEL.

I observe the exact same behavior when trying to connect to Swat-It's
version of the auto update feature. TCPView shows that these Live Updates
never made any attempt to connect.

I can connect to the internet ok. My McAfee live update works fine. I
have deleted the hosts file, and tried everything I can think of.
Everything works except for the live update features of the two trojan
scanner update features.

Swat-it and Trojanhunter both work fine, and I have no problem with these
live update features on my other PC.

TCPView shows: "SwatItPro.exe:2916 TCP 9925k03:1053
rapidupdates.swatit.org:http" on my other PC using the same ISP.

Any suggestions would be very appreciated and helpful.

Many Thanks in Advance
Paul

Why would you have a virus scanner, then disable it so that it cannot do
its job?

To make sure the virus scanner isn't interfering preventing a connection.

forgive me, I have a thing about disabled scanners after I received a
serious slap because my son did the same thing
