SUMo : Keep your software up to date

Even more stupid that since a few days, Regular installer no longer propose sponsor for SUMo (binary copy of "Lite" installer)

 

Webroot false positive is now fixed.

 

This is the first time I've ever seen WSA quarantine the lite version, so it does distinguish. Must be something new now incorporated in the lite executable.

 

Yes there's something newer now, but on the A/V program's end: stupidity.

 

No change in lite installer. Hopefully they fixed their definition files quickly

 

i had sumo version 3.11.6,249 installed and 2 days ago it started stating new updates for flash and most all installed programs with the same update number(666.13.0.0). so i used revo and uninstalled and when i tried to install the lastest version, norton 22.8 blocks and removes the installer. i have win764bit, ff49.0.1, ns 22.8

 

Is this a genuine sumo executable or a cracked copy ?

Please send me log file for investigation

 

Do you mean that SUMo reported updates with version number 666.13.0.0 for most of your installed programs?
That was odd.
But you mention that you were using SUMo version 3.11.6.249. Is that correct? When was the last time you used SUMo version 3.11.6.249? The current SUMo version is 5.0.2.334. So you were probably using a very old version. Perhaps that may have been the reason for the mentioned odd behavior.

Symantec Norton should not block the SUMo installer.
Where did you download the SUMo installer?
Did you download from http://www.kcsoftwares.com/?download or Major Geeks, or somewhere else?

And as Kyle asked:

If you downloaded somewhere else, please try again with the installer downloaded from KC Softwares or Major Geeks.

If Symantec Norton blocks the installer that you downloaded from KC Softwares or Major Geeks, then there seems to be something wrong with Symantec Norton.
A moment ago, I scanned the SUMo installers using VirusTotal, and Symantec did not detect anything wrong. However, unfortunately, that is no full guarantee that Symantec Norton doesn't generate a false-positive detection on your computer.

 

sumo ver#3 was on win7 machine, 3 other machines(all xpsp3) had ver# 4 and was acting the same as win7(stating available updates for flash,vlc, speccy, etc.,etc. with the same 666.13.0.0 update version number. i use sumo everyday. this just started 2 days ago. i uninstalled ver3 from win7 machine and went to kcsoftwares site and downloaded the sumo lite. i always save to desktop but norton file insight scan blocked and removed the installer. we went thru this with norton and sumo a couple of years ago. i updated one of the xp machines to ver#5 using the sumo popup stating new version available and avast free as av and installed with no problem and working as should. just wanted to let you know what was happening. still odd behavior for the older versions. i stayed with the sumo older versions because of the problem with norton blocking install but thought that was behind us. and too, once i set up my machines there is very little change to them. thanks

 

@topo,

Thanks very much for the details.
I hope Kyle can find out why you got the "666.13.0.0" update reports,
and what is going on with Symantec Norton again.

By the way, topo, do you know that you can report a false positive to Norton Support?
My Norton product incorrectly alerts that a file is infected, or a program or website is suspicious
--> Report a Suspected Erroneous Detection (False Positive)

 

Hello,

"666.13.0.0" symptom may be encountered on :
- cracked version of v5.0.2
- obsolete versions of SUMo

Please update all stations to v5.0.2.
If Norton reports alerts on sumo_lite, please report false positive (i'll do to !)

 

SUMo - 5.0.3 (Released 2016-10-0

Is everything OK now for everyone ?

 

No problems here. Thanks for the update, Kyle.

 

great !

 

Thanks, Kyle.
Everything OK here as well.

The only issue that I found, was that since the new user interface, my mouse pointer still tended to jump to the left bottom corner, and didn't find the Check button there. Oh, that poor mouse pointer, all confused!
But by now, my mouse pointer is getting the hang of it, and jumps to the upper left of the user interface, right away. I think everything is going to be alright!

 

Great

 

No, Firefox 49.0.1 blocked the download of the zip version of Sumo 5.0.3.335 because of possible malicious behavior.

I have never seen Firefox do that before... (on anything)

 

Problem was on Google side. Fix ongoing.
Are you able to download lite installer ?

 

All good. Great program Kyle.

 

Yes.

 

Do you know where to declare Firefox false positive ?

 

How does Firefox built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work?
--> I've confirmed that my site is safe, how do I get it removed from the lists?

 

Send to both.... but can't see any change :-(
