They responded in two days, and in part said, "It does sound like some component still remained on your computer but it's really unclear what exactly happened. After many clean security scans I decided to email my concerns to Cyberghost. Remember, I'd started using Glasswire recently and was noticing some unexplained communication from as a SVCHOST process months after I'd uninstalled their sofware from my computer. I thought I'd add one final interesting note about this issue. Doesn't seem to be hurting my laptop in any way, but I don't like the idea of someone working a back door on my computer, they could do anything. Otherwise I'll just keep an eye on things. If you think of something please let me know. Even with my limited knowledge it seems that the best explanation of course is that there's something in my system initiating this communication, but I can't imagine why. I'm not going to stress over this issue, but it bugs me not knowing. Okay, I scoured Autoruns and didn't see anything, except "Open VPN Project," but I Googled it and it seems to check out okay, especially since it dates to the day I bought the computer.

As the "Host Process for Windows Services" is reported as the origin of these connections, check your list of Windows Services for anything related to Cyberghost or VPN. No, it is not normal that you still see activity to Cyberghost when you have uninstalled it. This seems normal to me, as Check Point and F5 offer corporate VPN solutions. I guess these rules are created when you created VPN connections (I use another VPN provider than you).

These rules are not in Windows 7 Firewall by default, but they are on my PC too. Problem is I don't know much, so this could be nothing at all to worry about. But then I check Glasswire and it says an app has communicated with, usually Romania or Germany, as a Host Process for Windows Services. I block third party cookies on Firefox, I use Ghostery to block crap, I have the "flag" add on that tells me which servers my browser is calling up, never has it been Cyberghost's servers. It's just suspicious that is communicating with my computer because none of my activity accounts for it. Don't know if they are supposed to be there or if they were added later because of some download, like Cyrberghost, for example. Yes, they're in both inbound and outbound, private and domain, any program, and activated. Is this something you found in the inbound and outbound firewall rules? More precisely rules named CheckPoint.vpn and f5.vpn.client? So that gave me no clues.Įdited by Hellraiser666, 25 October 2014 - 03:46 PM. I should add, I have run about 6 different anti-maleware, including MB antiroot, and got zilch infections. So, can anyone tell me why Cyberghost is taping my computer? and what I should do, if anything. I really don't know what the heck I'm doing. There's another vpn item, "f5 vpn," but that seems like something l might need, I'm not sure. So I disallowed that item, and hopefully it will do the trick. Nothing I seem to be doing seems to offer any rational explanation why they would need to communication so often-at all, really-with my computer.Īnyway, very quickly, I went into my firewall (Which I rarely do) and found something called "Check point VPN," and I'm wondering if that isn't something they installed and are still using for their own, possibly nefarius, reasons. And I'm trying to come up with any good reason why this should be. Anyway, Glasswire seems to indicate that servers in Germany and Romania are doing a lot of communicating with my computer, some files as big as 2 mb. Since I'm not overly knowledgeable about computing I tend not to fully understand many of these programs, including this one. About a week ago I downloaded from Bleeping that Glasswire program.
After six months I got bored with it and uninstalled it. About a year ago I downloaded and used the Cyberghost VPN. I'm confused about something and hoping someone in here can clear it up.
