Wtf is KHRONA?
Jul 7th, 2013 at 10:54pm
Print Post  
I was just poking through my AVG to see why I had a system slow down, and saw this open network connection called KHRONA (yes all in caps) and when I expanded it, the only thing it was running was awesomium.

Now, I haven't even opened the launcher for the game in a week or so, and I previously blocked awesomium in my firewall, and it still remains in the blocked list, but it was up and running inside this KHRONA application.

Anyone know what this is? Is my tin foil hat going off needlessly here?

Not yet, I was hoping someone had previously noticed this while I went ahead and uninstalled DDO.

I found it odd I blocked the shit though and now there is a new file in my firewall where it was running.

Ok, thanks. So they can effectively bypass firewall blockage of their junk by sending it in a new file/folder apparently.

Seriously. I blocked Awesomium in the turbine folder in my firewall, and today my machine has been slow loading every fucking thing on the web. I mean like 55 seconds to get ddovault to load on a fresh browser session.


Amazingly, I blocked that KHRONA shit (and uninstalled DDO) and pages are loading in the usual 3-10 seconds they have done for several years now when things are running normal. Angry

KHRONA is actually a company from the NSA. They suspect that DDO players are satanists, and they want to know what you are doing.

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

There must be something really really really wrong with your computer. You crash all the time, the awesomium processes slow your web browsing to a crawl... I'm not trying to sound like those douche canoes on the regular forums that blame your computer when you crash, but I think it's your computer. 

Not saying they should open that many fucking processes to use the store/help stuff, but come on. That pentium 2 should probably be put out to pasture.

Intel core 2 duo E7300 @ 2.66 GHz

Win 7 64

8 gigs ram.

1 gig zotac video card.

Asus Pq5-pro mom board, water cooled cpu tower, Namaste' power supply (need to upgrade that)

And last night someone in town here hit a fiber optic box which led to the system slow down apparently. but I am kind of glad it did, i found all sorts of shit running that other *ahem* people installed on my rig that kind of has me a bit pissed off too. Smiley


Oh yes, and with all my free time while my knee is on the mend, I look at far too much porn.

I have very good AVG, so not sure. there are times I shut it off when downloading DDO though. Honestly, I know nothing about programming, and I keep seeing shit that has me fucking confused.

Like just now, I found a password protected user account. you know, like logging into the machine as guest, admin, whatever, anyway it is called ASP.net machine account, and i have no fucking idea what the fuck that is, or who it is. the only account I set up was me as admin when I upgraded to 64 bit and then a guest account just to have there.

Now I can't figure out how to remove this fucking ASP.net account since I don't know the password.


It mysteriously disappeared after telling me i couldn't delete an account that was logged in.

There's probably one named admin or administrator as well, make sure you physically delete the files for that one.

Can't exactly blame him alone, got an entire household here that could have done it, I am pretty sure the music download site was the shithead 15 year old of mine.

Hello Kitty online was me though.
