NOD32 Antivirus 4.2.71 Added: Support for scanning SSL in Firefox 4?

not sure that a support ticket with the distributor is going solve the matter.

sounds more like your and Marco's end was a dual installation of FF 4 32/64 bit involved, where the 64bit version benefited from the 32bit version's certificate store. a single 64bit version install would probably yield the same results as those reported here by the users.
the indication that it does not work with the FF 4 64bit is quite clear as the manual import of the Eset certificate is being rejected by the browser.
meantime progressed to another nightly trubk 4.0b11pre.en-US, still no avail.

since neither WIN 64bbit nor FF 64bit are mainstream and probably will not be for quite a while it would not surprise this matter being on the lower end of the scale to resolve.

 

I'll try replicating again with just clean 64Bit versions and let you know. By the way, support tickets can always help. Distributor support desks have direct lines with ESET.

EDIT: It seems you are correct vtol, with firefox-4.0b11pre.en-US.win64-x86_64.installer.exe on Win 7 x64 i'm getting the same error. I'll report this as a bug and let you know the outcome. Perhaps Marcos has something to say about this as well, but if need be, he knows how to contact me .

 

You're righ Vtol, it seems to be the same problem with Mozilla not accepting self-signed CA certificates that other companies are having as well. However, we'll most likely be able to fix this so hopefully further builds could work with Firefox x64 properly with SSL scanning enabled.

 

appreciate the feedback and effort to get it done! it should be no big trouble to achieve it for the 64bit version too, since Eset obviously reached the acceptance of the Firefox developers for the respective certificate in the 32bit version. since the 64bit FF is not as much promoted and nowhere near mainstream it does not surprise it has not been taken into account

 

perhaps an asterisk in the change log would be in order, to specify the compatibility limit with FF 4 32bit version, just in case there would somebody else with a similar combo of NOD and FF 4 64bit

 

Sorry for the noob question... but what are the benefits of using "SSL Scanning"?

 

there isn't a thing like noob...

the benefit of enabling SSL scanning is that protocols utilizing SSL protocols/ports supported by that NOD feature will be scanned already during (down/up)load times and thus enabling NOD to catch malicious stuff even prior entering the end user's machine when served via a SSL connection. if not enabled SSL traffic will not be scanned by NOD at load times.

 

Thanks for the reply man.
