Streaming Stock data not working due to imon

After using Norton Av for years I switched to Nod32 not to long ago.

I'm using Blackspears security settings.

Must say I'm quite impressed with the size/performance of this package.

But...theres one big problem I can't solve,

Ever since i started using nod32 the real time streaming stockdata from my stockbroker won't work, Imon is blocking it in some way.

The only way to get it working is to disable Imon.

I tried all solutions I could find in this forum including:

Winsock fix
Setting the client compatibility to high
Putting the www of my stockbroker in the server compatibility list.
Downloaded and fresh installed latest version of Sun java (v 1.5.0.09)
Tried Firefox 1.5 / 2.0 and IE6

other info;

My Nod32 version is 2.51.30
WinXP Home SP2 all updates installed
using an Admin account


Is there an solution other then disabling IMON for this?

And how risky is it to disable IMON?

any help appreciated

 

You have all applications set to higher compatibility mode in the IMON setup, right?

 

Yes thats correct.

 

Some additional information

this is the process that is blocked : hXXps://streaming.binck.nl/minibinck.jar

 

What about excluding the app in the IMON setup? Does it make a difference?

 

I also have streaming stock quotes. Try this, it may/may not help.
In Firefox 2.0, Tools->Options->Content->Block Popup Windows->Exceptions,
add website (usually wwws.xxxxxx.com) to 'allow list'.

Best regards

 

How do you get your data, is it an application like TWS (Interactive Brokers) or QuoteTracker or is it some sort of web browser based thing.
Most brokers should be familiar with the compatablity issues of mainstream AV, firewalls etc, they should be able to advise, if they can't I'd recommend a change of broker

 

Its not an app but a java applet running in the browser, tried running it in IE6 firefox 1.5 and 2.0 at no success.

The page shows up, but it won't update automaticly (i.e. streaming).

 

Thx for your suggestion, but I don't use the default popupblocker that comes with firefox.
I'm using Ad-Mucher as a browser extension in Firefox to block pop-ups. The brokers website is in Ad-Munchers allow list.

 

Its the web based thing. Works fine with all antivirus packages except Nod32.
I tried Norton, Kapersky, F-prot and AVG.

Thing is, Nod32 is the best antivirus out there i.m.h.o. so I like to stick with NOD.

So it is not broker related but, problem exists for every webbased streaming data
Had the same problem with marketXS.

Don't plan to change brokers as I have 3 already.

 

I have encountered people on this forum who use NOD32 they may be able to advise....

Forum is free but requires registration, they have a section on tech related topics, can't say as I've seen anything on this issue but if you post a question on it I'm sure someone will attempt to help.
Sorry I cannot offer more help, but am not familiar with NOD I assume you have cleared the java cache, I have come across that suggestion in relation to java problems.

 

@Tradetime,

thx,

No need to be sorry, any help and suggestions are appreciated!

I'll post on this on the forum you suggested.


(Yes cleared the java cache, even installed latest java version)

 

Sad to say I've switched to another AV

Can't get Imon to work with this streaming java applet (maybe because its from a secure site (https)).

Only thing I can do getting it to work is disabling Imon, but I don't feel happy surfing with Imon disabled.

It's certainly not PC related, tried getting it to work on 3 PC's (2 Xp-pro and 1 XP home) even did a clean install on one of these, all at no succes.

Tried several other AV's all work fine with this java thing, I'm using Avira PE classic for now as a second best replacement for Nod32.

Would switch back to Nod32 instantly if this Imon thing would be resolved.
