TVT Packet Filter

[beaker]

What is it? I search on Google turned up this.

Is it bundled with your network adapter? I also did a search on the new ThinkVantage Deployment Guide that is here. It wasn't documentated there though.

MOD EDIT: Locked because you started posting about the same issue in another thread. Please do not double post.

This TVT Packet Filter is part of Client Security Solution 7. When I uninstalled CSS7, it went away as well.

There is no documentation anywhere as to what it actually does, and if you run an anti-virus program your computer will be slower as well. This is even after excluding the Client Security Solution from the anti virus program.

HTH someone.

Not in my case. I've uninstalled CSS but still saw that TVT Packet Filter there. I had to uninstall it manually. So far no problem yet without it.

I found this after digging around on lenovo's support site. It was under "Rescue and Recovery 4 Considerations".

Symptom

The operating system crashes after VPN software is installed due to an incompatibility issue with the TVT Packet Filter.

Note: The TVT Packet Filter is designed to enable advanced administrative users to configure the ability to control network traffic on computers that have Rescue and Recovery installed. This filter is not necessary for standard installations.

Solution

If you encounter this issue, run the following commands from a command prompt:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\pfdinst\netsvcinst /remove /cid:"lgl_tvtpktfiltermp"
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\pfdinst\netsvcinst /remove /cid:"lgl_tvtpktfilter"
