I get the same from yesterday. Windows 10 Pro 1809 17763.194. I tried with latest versions of Opera, Firefox, Chrome all showing same results.

@KI108 We now have a new version of the agent, can you please test it and report back to us?
https://test.vulndetect.com/dl/secteerSetup.exe

The new version is NOT available from the normal download location yet.

[KI108]

@Tom Sure, I will once you update the agent. Thanks for looking into it.

[Tom]

@KI108 Sorry for the long wait, we are planning to make improvements to the agent during next week. I hope you have time to test later in the week.

[Tom]

@KI108 Yes, this was expected
We did not have time to work on changes to the agent yet, and this is something that we need to investigate and test properly, before we deploy it.
And I'm afraid that we need to clear an issue or two more before we can fix this one, sorry.
I'll keep you posted when there is news.

[KI108]

@Tom
It worked this time.

Last CheckIn a minute ago

Though it did the c:\ and came back with the bad allocation after all the 0x00000005 => Access is denied.

Also the version still shows version:: 0.10.11.0 in the log. With the back -end changes you mentioned in other post of Nothing to see was this supposed to change?

[KI108]

@Tom
It was set to 08:20 CST and I had changed to 09:20 CST to force it yesterday but it still didn't do anything.

Will see what happens in the next 10 minutes

[KI108]

@Tom
I have emailed the log to you. Thanks for looking into it.

[Tom]

@KI108 No, the agent will run if the PC is turned on. So no need for logging in via browser.

But I suppose this could be because even the automatic inspection is failing for you.

Could you send me your log again via email?

[KI108]

@Tom
Another question. Does one need to be logged in through browser for inspections to work? The reason I ask is, I did not login to vulndetect.com for few days and when i logged in today, I see last inspection 6 days ago.

For some reason there is an issue in that folder, that cause the structure to recurse / loop endlessly.

We are looking at approaches to avoid following such loops (in a generic way, rather than excluding that specific folder). Due to the holidays a solution is not right around the corner, but it is on the high priority list and we will address it soon.

[KI108]

For the time being I ran Secteer immediate for path C:\Program files and again with C:\Program Files (x86) to see if any software was not latest and I found two.
After Secunia PSI went away, I have been using PatchMyPC, SUMO, Heimdal Pro to see what needs updating. Unlike Secunia which used to show almost everything, these 3 give bits and pieces and that is why I was looking for a better option.
Thanks for looking into this.
Like Secteer excludes scanning Recycle Bin, similarly this directory structure of Containers needs to be excluded also.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows
and
C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows
That's my thought.
@Tom Once again appreciate your time and patience in resolving these issues.

Basically it starts of with 34% memory and slowly increased around 80%, before it quit with bad allocation. The Secteer itself starts of around 2 MB or so and slowly went past 2000 MB or so.

Mostly it was c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows... or \Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Containers\BaseImages\e5ee5788-c3b5-420c-9baa-16c0eee19a9e\ which was doing recursively inside up to 23 times in one path like below

Just for the record, this answer was sent in the private chat to @KI108 :

The "Error => bad allocation" you see in the log, that is due to the agent not being able to allocate memory.

This puzzles us as it doesn't use more than 40MB on any of our test boxes, we have really done a lot to limit the memory footprint.

But, this lead us to look at another thing, it is spending around 10 minutes enumerating your filesystem, this usually takes less than a minute, depending on type of drive, system load and number of apps and AV products. Regardless, 10 minutes seems to be a very long time compared to what we normally see.

We suspect there may be a "looping path issue" or multiple symlinks to directories with a lot of files. But this is guess work.

I would appreciate is you could do two things:

• Monitor the RAM usage in task manager while running the "secteer.exe --immediate"

• Run

secteer.exe --immediate --path="c:\program files"

or

secteer.exe --immediate --path="c:\program files\mozilla firefox"

or something else specifc

@KI108 Could you send me your hostname in the chat, then I will go see what we get in the server logs

Hour of day to run inspections
: 15:45 --> I have changed it multiple times and tried
Inspections will run at this time each selected day.

I have changed the Hour of day to run the inspections multiple times to the nearest increment , Installed secteersetup.exe multiple times etc. . but still the same.
I don't see anything in Configurations to setup.

Per one of the notes i had run -- immediate command and it said it sent it to vulndetect yesterday. But still nothing happens.
Thanks for the any help.
