    Zemana alerted me today about Firefox wanting to write to the registry. I've been using Ff4 all week so I wouldn't think it had anything to particularly do with it. I was sandboxed so I allowed it. Here is the log. Can anyone explain what Ff was up to? By the way, there are no new processes or services running, e.g. Ff process even though the browser is closed so I don't believe it is connected to malware and Malwarebytes found nothing. Also as you'll notice, it was verified from Mozilla. Thank you!
    p.s. Questioning why Ff was suddenly writing to the registry, not questioning anything about Z!

    Permission = 1
    Action = Allowed
    Description = Firefox
    Process Name = firefox.exe
    Process Path = C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
    Component = firefox.exe
    Company = (Verified) Mozilla Corporation
    Activity = Registry Access (Type: 28 )
    MD5 Hash = 7AAF26E5CEC48A364FAB61A3505668FB

    i stopped using Zemana and other HIPS like products because they are paranoia inducing. ;)

    Zemana, like other HIPS, will something warn about legit processes.
    i am not saying that is what happened in your case.
    so be careful.

    but still, i think some security apps assume we like to see this info and spend hours researching the answers in case we are not IT specialists.:cautious:

    just my 2 cents.

    It sure would help if Zemana showed you the registry key it was protecting. Good luck tracking this one down...
