Autoruns : AutoRuns Compare - All entries green

Subject: AutoRuns Compare - All entries green
Posted: 31 March 2014 at 8:15pm

Hi,
 
As part of our Compliance procedures we run AutoRuns each month after applying the monthly MS patches.  We then compare the current run to last month's run and check for differences.  Normally when we do the compare a few green entries show up such as the virus definetion files that have changed.  This month every entry is green.  The timestamps on the files look normal, like the files have not been changed. 
 
I've tried this with both version 11.70 and 11.21 and get the same results.  The server is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
 
Anybody else experience this?
 
Thanks.

In response to this feature request (which appears to have been asked twice by the same anonymous user):

Feature request 2: Often, it is not enough to exclude an exact path (like C:\Windows\System32\KernelBase.dll). Instead, we most likely want to exclude entire directories (e.g. C:\Windows\System32\). When right-clicking a path, there should be the option to exclude that path, or any parent path of it. Example: I click on "C:\Windows\System32\KernelBase.dll" and get:

Exclude "C:\Windows\System32\KernelBase.dll"
Exclude "C:\Windows\System32\" (StartsWith)
Exclude "C:\Windows\" (StartsWith)
Exclude "C:" (StartsWith)

There was a new feature added in v3.05 that should give you similar functionality:

Quote Process Monitor v3.05: ... This update adds a context-menu entry that opens the filter edit dialog with contents prepopulated with the specified row and column value.

To use this feature with your example, right-click on a path that contains 'C:\Windows\System32\KernelBase.dll' > select Edit Filter 'C:\Windows\System32\KernelBase.dll'


(sorry for the bad screenshot; 10K is very limiting)

The Filter dialogue box will pop up with 'C:\Windows\System32\KernelBase.dll' populated and the control focus on the logic condition box:


(notice the selection focus on 'is' box; use down arrow to quickly change)

From there, it's easy to change "is" to "contains" and remove the parts of the path you wish to exclude.

You should be able to do this with a Category filter.

First, add the Category column. Options > Select Columns > check Category (the last one on left under Event Details).

There are four Categories:
  1. Read
  2. Read Metadata
  3. Write
  4. Write Metadata

You can set a filter for these by right-clicking in the Category column and choosing Include or Exclude.

Or, you can manually build the filter in the Filter dialogue box. A favorite filter of mine is to show only writes, which does what you wish by hiding all read activity.

Category is Write then Include

I know I'm pretty late to the party on these, but maybe I can still help someone...

Something similar to what you can do with Tshark for wireshark traces, and with the netmon command line switches.

I have tried this 
procmon /OpenLog Non_working.PML /LoadConfig ProcmonConfiguration.
pmc /Quiet /SaveAs output.pml

But the resultant file was just the same size as the input file. I had selected drop filtered events and the filter did work in the loaded trace.

It looks like you could use the new /saveapplyfilter switch added in version v3.1:

Quote Process Monitor v.3.1: This release adds ... a new switch, /saveapplyfilter, which has Process Monitor apply the current filter to the output file as it saves it.

Add the new switch at the end of you command line:
procmon.exe /OpenLog Non_working.PML /LoadConfig ProcmonConfiguration.pmc /Quiet /SaveAs output.pml /saveapplyfilter
I tested this and it seems to work as you requested.

Thanks for reply, yes I saw entries in registry but was wondering if they were used by Vista,
Already deleted  windows.old.
Do you know if these files are used in Vista.
If they are will a service create them or do they have be installed or is it just legacy stuff?

I've had the similar situation before with an odd question on the treeview control. However, I can't remember how I fixed that.

They are not used. Seems like someone forgot to remove the entries when Vista was built. They are gone in Windows 7.

Hey everyone!

Does anyone use group policy to force a wallpaper for users and also successfully use BGInfo?

If you do, what is your setup like?

I am having issues where it will work for certain users, but for other users it wont copy the desktop wallpaper and just puts the text up with a black background.


Thank you for any possible help!! Big smile

In the "System information" view, I would like the graphs and tooltips to display values to 3 significant figures (possibly more in the tooltips)

I often want to compare two points in time (before and after an action) and readings like "3.9GB vs 4.0GB" do not provide enough precision.

I have just been playing with this as i was looking for a good replacement as well, but is there a good way to get it positioned correctly so you can use a single .ini file for a variety of different sized monitors?
