Addinmon causes havok

Post by Jong »

Hi!

Just trying this out.

When I exit EZoutlooksync a copy of addinmon and outlook are still running.

Leave the machine for a while and the copies of both (sometimes?) seem to multiply until the machine becomes unusable.

Any ideas?

Hi Jon,

does it work fine without AddinMon? We have not tested with AddinMon yet.

Hi Max.

I admit I'm new to this little critter, but I'm now confused. It loads along with outlook when EZOutlookSync opens the .pst files (before a sync) and when I close your app, both are still there.

When I came back after a few hours away earlier I had a dozen or more of both loaded. I am sure I didn't open EZOS that often!

No idea where addinmon came from, if not from you. And don't know why it and outlook don't close when EZOS does.

Any ideas!

Max, a bit more web research indicates this came with Zonealarm's anti-spam filter, but it seems EZOS and ZA anti-spam don't like each other!

Max, found this in a forum - a quote from one of the guys who wrote adidmon. Not sure if it helps.

"Sunny,

If we had been able to figure out a solution that worked from within Outlook
we wouldn't have had to create a hack like AddInMon! The problem with your
little "minder" add-in is that if Outlook never opens with UI and the program
that originally launched it closes, there won't be any Explorer.Close or
Inspector.Close event to let the helper add-in know Outlook is trying to shut
down. And since it will have an open reference to one or more Outlook objects
you won't get OnDisconnection or OnBeginShutdown events, so the helper won't
know to release its references and Outlook will remain in memory."

Max,

This tool seems to be able to fix it. It looks like the problem is more down to Zonalarm's anti-spam and Outlook itself rather than you (it affects activesync too).

Hello Jong,

you are right, we do not installs AddinMon, seems like other tool installed it.
Has Shutdown Addin been able to help you?
