Qestion: is the RET NDIS driver servce part of Blink? If so, maybe someone can explain the following. Just checked XP event log and got 30 to 40 identical errors all occuring at 23:00:07. The event log output is as follows. =========================== start of event ======================================== Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7000 Date: 13/06/2007 Time: 23:00:07 User: N/A Computer: ZOOM-UFFORD Description: The RET55 NDIS Protocol Driver service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. ============================ end of event ======================================== I checked the Blink log and nothing was loggwsd a,t or near, that time.

Not an answer - but what's with the formatting? Why were all my line endings stripped out?? Martin

That Event is sent in error in BETA and will not be present in the final 3.1. It can be safely ignored for the time being.

Blink Personal Version 3.1.1, Rule version 1416
AntiVirus Version 1.0.206
Vulnerability Scanner version 5.8.4, Audits version 1729

 

 I'm seeing this ret55 error about 15 times in a row, then my machine froze..... using 3.1.1 as shown above. What does it mean, how can I prevent a freeze?
