dcs18 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Preventing The TeamViewer Advertising Pop-upThis little tip is for those who like to have an extremely tight control over each and every application and program.The Problem:Whenever one shuts down TeamViewer - the following advertisement pops-up:--The Solution:Just use your Anti-executable to block mshta.exe (C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe)What if we delete mshta.exe ?Will it cause prob?RegardsBetter to not delete mshta.exe - it is used by other programs, too.If mshta.exe is deleted, you will receive errors.

dcs18 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 The firewall method for IDM is permanent and hence, you won't even receive notifications - you can monitor the IDM page to update your copy manually.Furthermore, using this method your IDM needs to be fixed just one single time - thereafter, whenever you update your copy will continue to remain activated without ever having to be fixed again.

But I've IDM installed on my home system as well and the users at my home are not advanced enough to check the IDM webpage for updates. Earlier I was using the BRD patch and never received the FAKE pop-up. So That is why I was asking if there would be any way to continue receiving the update notofications? Any other patch ?

Hmm...What is the requirement of 'TeamViewer_Service.exe' ? Is it necessary for TV to run?Yes, it is required for connectivity through activation of the unique ID mapped to your machine network adapter (each and every session) - it also kick-starts the TeamViewer 10 service (which though, can be switched from Automatic to Manual.)

dcs18 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 infact, my WFC doesn't even contain a rule pertaining to TV_service.Have made a WFC rule, as illustrated in the TeamViewer tutorial simply because it overrides the update preference set on the TeamViewer GUI.That rule is very helpful since every TeamViewer installation resets the service back to Automatic - besides, others can also change the GUI settings (which will in either of both cases - be bypassed by a firewall rule . . . . . . . . namely WFC.)

buzz123 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 What if we delete mshta.exe ?Will it cause prob?RegardsProbably... That program is used to render html (like a browser) for many programs besides TV...Which "anti-exec" do you recommend to prevent it from running in this case ONLY?

dcs18 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Which "anti-exec" do you recommend to prevent it from running in this case ONLY?Personally, I have Process Lasso already running on my system and hence use its capability of blocking executables. ^_^Edit:--Updated the TeamViewer tutorial with this info.
