    Hi,

    Since the most recent update, when I open firefox, I received a message that a nasty has started (see my pics)... Is it a false positive since nothing else found it?

    Thanks,
    Atomas31

    GREAT! I removed the file. Is my Firefox install porked now? I keep gettign warnings that the browser cant verify the certificate of a website now. Great program but how does such a bug slip through? The majority of users on this board use firefxprobably.

    Glad I checked here as soon as I got the popup. I did not delete the file and have currently shut down BOClean until they get it fixed. So far, it looks like no "damage" was done.

    If it's not too much trouble, can someone please post when the update is available?

    Thanks!!

    The intraday update is out. Use "Check for Update" from the traybar menu and it'll be fixed. Thanks for your patience, we raced into the lab to fix this !

    I only read this now. In the mean time i have already send the file to support of Boclean for analysis.
    My Boclean "last update 07/22/2006" still gives "Quo Vadis" Trojan.

    By the way, which is the correct address for submitting files? (i' ve used support[at]nsclean.com)

    EDIT: OK false positive gone with def 22/07/2006 14:14:42
    That was VERY quick! :thumb:

    (also posted on the other thread)

    There's two options to fix it- hopefully the easy one will do it ... look for a file called EVIDENCE.BOC (if you have BOClean set to "keep a copy of evidence") and if so, copy THAT file to:

    C:\Program Files\MOZILLA FIREFOX\NSSCKBI.DLL

    If you are unable to find "EVIDENCE.BOC" then, sorry to say, you'll have to reinstall Firefox. My most EXTREME apologies for this ... :(

    No problem Nancy, BoClean has been probably the best money I have ever spent on security software. I have received several upgrades free, the original purchase price was very reasonable; it runs light and does the job well. Over the years it has caught several Trojans that nod missed and they co exist nicely. I for one think you are doing an excellent job.

    May have another one here. Today BOClean ID'd WeatherWatcher's update downloader as a baddie: "rkit update trojan stopped." Hasn't happened before. Weather Watcher's been around for years. http://www.singerscreations.com/Software.asp

    I didn't delete the file but haven't yet rebooted. Meanwhile, I know it was 100 degrees before noon PDT and our usual "dry heat" is not dry due to higher than normal humidity. Icky. ('Course I didn't need WW to tell me that it was bleepin hot and the air feels like a muggy blanket, LOL.)

    For now, dragging weather watcher's dl.exe {not deleted, of course :p } and ww.exe {perhaps 'belt and suspenders,' but WTH ;)} into Boclean excluder and rebooting the box keeps WW up and running fine.

    OK dokey, Nancy. Thanks. After the alert I excluded WW and the dl.exe (as dmax said,"belt and suspenders"), rebooted and all is fine.

    It's 109 now. *puppy*

    :cool:

    Good...you're Ok for now. As to the heat, I'd stand under those flying pigs and enjoy the breeze.....we had a few 90+ dyas here, they were miserable....when it gets that hot around here, it always comes with humidity.

    No problem. Reinstalling was easy enough. I STILL think this is the best piece of software I ever purchased. If you ever introduce another security app, I will be 1st on the list.

    Kinda curious but I use Firefox and BOC didn't peep at all for me on two different systems today. Makes me wonder if there is something else that might be causing some to get a BOC alert and others not.

    I checked and that .DLL file is on my system but other than that unsure. That specific .DLL is also used for Mozilla Thunderbird as well. Could it be one version of the said .DLL file that was the issue?

    Just wondering when you updated BOClean as the team were out with the fix for this very quickly after the bit alert.
    If you updated after that then the alert wasn't there, anyone just updating this morning would not even know it existed.
