Sigil accessing windows registry keys
Hi,
I'm using version 0.4.0RC1 of Sigil under Windows 7. After running Sigil for a while I get a warning from my security suite that Sigil is behaving suspicious. Sigil is accessing registry keys that make me wonder why it is doing this. One example is [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\SharedAccess\Epoch] Has anybody else observed such behavior? The checksums of my Sigil.exe are CRC-32: 136076c3 MD4: 61f610ffd818e1224877c5c515e652bb MD5: 055dd4be527afbb093ffbc1de7c51cc6 SHA-1: 3c0cbdc35daa89e187419b7b833523de08cba977 Regards Thomas |

Both versions of Sigil store info about the last five opened files in the registry. Regards - John |

Hi Jabby,
what made me wonder is that the cited registry key belongs to the firewall settings. It's true that Sigil accesses a lot of keys most of which are definitly harmless. But some look strange to me. Regards Thomas |

Depending on your Install time options, Sigil asked for permission to install Open Candy.

Ok, I found a registry key pointing to opencandy. I will try to find out if this is the reason for the observed behaviour. Thanks.
