Zemana caught FF

Trying to grab a screenie



Don't know why FF would do that on it's own ? Anyone seen this behaviour before ?

 

Just started happening? is this with latest FF? Maybe something to do with plugin-container.exe (as a pure speculation)

 

Yup, I've been seeing this since FF 3.6.4. But only 3-4 times and not for the past few days. I allow but don't create a rule.

And I keep forgetting to click "View more details."

Good observation!

 

@Cudni

First time today, as far as i can recall.

v3.0.13 No plans to update yet

What plugin could do that ?

TIA

 

@LODBROK

Not just me then

I denied, better safe than sorry i think

Yeah, wish i had now If there's a next time i will. If you see it again before me, please post with the details

 

that .exe is to do with
"..
If a plugin crashes or freezes, it will not affect the rest of Firefox. You will be able to reload the page to restart the plugin and try again. "

Only applicable to latest FF but as you are running an earlier version it think Zemana might be overcautious (another speculation )

 

@Cudni

If it is that ? i don't mind. If it was all the time then

That's ok, an answer is better than none, even if it's speculation Sometimes hunches etc turn out to be correct

 

Well, since it's being seen in v3.0, then it's not related to the new-in-v3.6.4 plugin container. In hindsight I can't say for certain if any of the rare alerts might have occurred in my previous FF version.

Since it is so recent in my experience, I would then think maybe the June 6 Zemana 1.9.2.206 update is what set off this overcautious behavior.

We'll probably never see it again now that we're trying to figure it out.

 

@LODBROK

Maybe ?

Yes that's often the way it goes

 

Since I started running FFox 3.6.6 & .7 I haven't been seeing the Zemana, still at 1.9.2.206, alert at all anymore.

FWIW, I have been playing with SpyShelter Free (set to auto allow confirmed applications) on another system running XP sp3. It's constantly logging events for Firefox 3.6.7. In fact, for that log spanning about three days, FF represents about 80% of the entries.

Perhaps the Zemana alert isn't (wasn't) so unusual after all.

 

Wow, I thought it's an Agnitum Outpost false positive (as I'm using it), turned out that other security software detects it as well.

 

@LODBROK

Interesting, thanks for the feedback

@lolpop

Indeed, and it's nice to know some do

 

Of course, since that posting, that Zemana alert popped up the first time FF 3.6.8 loaded up. I have home page set as the start page which is about:blank, so it's got to be an extension needing that permission. I'm thinking FlashBlock or LinkScanner or something that has to monitor what's screening up. Heck, who cares? I created a Zemana allow rule and I'm done with it.
