what is tpdfactivedoc control

12 years ago

I have Googled and Googled "tpdfactivedoc control" and found nothing. Avast found it on my PC and Avast, Malwarbytes and Superantivirus scans did not find it. I found similar things without the f in it.

That is what I found also, but it did not tell me what it was or if it needed to be removed. This turned out to be a very serious problem. I think it was one of those fake warnings and not by avast at all. Avast said it could remove it, I didn't feel it was the right thing to do, but I did it anyway. Another thing that I thought was bad was that when I clicked remove, it would only remove it if I set my home page to yahoo or bing, i think. I went ahead because I new I could reset my home page. After removing it.... FF would not open it said something xpcom needed. Malwarebytes would not run at all. I did a system restore and could not be completed. Finally I couldn't even use IE. I did a reformat and all is well this morning.

In Search of Controller for Dust Control

Thanks everyone for the responses. We were able to get the Hunter Pro working again and in doing so discovered it has the 3 programs that mike mentioned is on the Rainbirds. This unit belongs to my DS so I was not familiar with it until I got hold of the manual. Still took mike's description for me to grasp the manual's instructions! There are 2 zones on the controller and the start time for one of the programs is determined by the other zone/valve. Because of this I was limited to 9 starts vs a max of 12 for the one zone. twolips......I've never heard of the propagation timer but will keep it in mind for future projects. Thanks! lehua......we have a total of 6 rotators on one zone. I wanted all of them to come on at the same time and run for a set time. They're now coming on every 1 1/2 hrs and running for 5 min. Sorry for the confusion. We're in the PNW so the climate is not arid but there are a number of windy days which make for dusty conditions in the paddocks and the barn. So far, the system is working perfectly and I can't say enough good things about Hunter MP Rotators.

controlling sprinkler zone with Jandy controller
Q

I am planning to energize a solenoid valve also from the Jandy RS. IÂm waiting for the necessary cable to do this, but was told that the JVA sockets can be used to energize 24 VAC solenoid valves. If you have any JVA sockets not in use, simply assign that JVA to the auxiliary that you desire and that JVA socket will energize or de-energize when the auxiliary is selected. These JVA sockets output 24 VAC on 2 different legs, one leg normally energized and the other leg normally de-energized. Just be careful to use the right cable with the appropriate connector when connecting to the JVA socketÂ.the socket is small and if any of the pins are shorted, damage may result to the Jandy controller. Jandy sells JVA cables in different lengths and that is what IÂm planning to use for connection between the Jandy RS and the solenoid valve. Hope this helps.

Kohler DTV Prompt vs. 3 volume controls and 1 temp control handle

sstrazisar, I would put the valve in the wall where I plan on putting the body sprays that connects to the bedroom. Directly behind this wall is a built in cabinet with doors so I can hide the access panel. See attached for a picture of a quick Sketchup model I did the other day (placement of stuff is just temporary, just wanted a quick idea of what it will look like). I have read reviews about the DTV Prompt valve being noisy, which is another concern, but hopefully I would be able to sound proof within the wall as well as within that built in cabinet unit.

control 4 EA controller
Q

If you are looking for more specifics, I would say start with this: 1x EA5, 1x C4 T-stat, dimmers for however many lights you want to make smart, 1x 4 zone matrix amp, 1x SR260 Uni remote. That will give you a main controller to control all other control4 stuff, smart heating and cooling, AV control of a surround sound system and its sources and audio playback in 4 other rooms beside the surround sound location.

Emma, I have had the same sort of thing happen with Avast and my home page and search engine being changed. I think I do not trust this. It seems to be with the "Browser Cleanup" action of Avast. I have used Avast for years but never had this Browser Cleanup function before. I think I do not trust it, and I'm wondering if I can disable that function. I have IE, FF, and Chrome, and it changed all three browsers. I'm having trouble getting my home page set correctly for Chrome, since it wants to use the same page I have for IE.

Okay, I removed the check allowing Avast to check for browser toolbars, etc. that "can be harmful". I also removed the shortcut for Browser Cleanup.

When I installed Avast I removed almost every check mark except the ones regarding protection. When I got that pop up, I did a full scan and it did not find it even though it was Avast that warned me.

I thought the clean up browser was an option. I got rid of Avast and went back to AVG. I quit AVG a couple of years ago because it locked me out of my games. I should have just emailed them and told it was a false positive.

I've been happy with Avast so far, but there is a lot of HATE for the Browser Cleanup tool in several places and you are STRONGLY URGED not to use it. Check the link below and also these:

https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=150802.0

http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Browser-Cleanup/3000-2144_4-75872295.html#rateit

After reading this thread, I ran Browser Cleanup only to see what it wanted to do. As I suspected, it found just what I wanted it to find: ALMOST NOTHING! It found one unrecognized object in IE which must have been put there a long time ago by Photobucket since I almost never use IE for that site. In Firefox, it decided it does not like my plugin for the HP printer (which has never caused me any problem).

Keeping your browser free from unnecessary plug-ins and toolbars is always the best choice IMHO and this is just another example which proves the point. I'd also advise Avast users to join the Avast forum and ask questions there before automatically trusting their recommendations.

Thanks for the link to Avast Forum. I went to Control Panel and uninstalled the Browser Cleanup part of Avast.
