    Hi, folks., Very strange things have happened for the last few days. Each time when I visit wilderssecurity forum, BlackIce will block an attack,issuing a warning. I am able to trace back and have some details, perhaps someone at Wilders or some experts can solve this puzzle:
    issue:HTML_Mshtml_overflow parameters: URL=/clientscript/vbulletin_quick_edit.js&server=wildrssecurity.com

    Looks like a false positive from BlackICE. I can't begin to explain it though since we use generic vBulletin forum software here, and I don't know what BlackICE is using as a signature (is that an IDS like alert?). You may need to ask the BlackICE people exactly what that message means and what triggers it. There is probably an exceptions or exclusions list to prevent the alerts, like a trusted site list of some such.

    Is there more logged then just that one line?
