    Hi Joe,

    I just got another fp on SOL during entering a website url..! :eek:

    This in Opera.. :blink:

    See screenshot.

    And then after I clicked on the "Ignore" button the Prevx app crashed, see screenshot, too.

    regards,

    Could you supply more details as to OS 32bit or 64bit with what versions of Prevx and Browsers that make it crash? And if the url is a FP and not a malicious site can you post the link?

    TIA,

    TH

    Hi there,

    sorry I forgot these.. :blink: :ouch:

    Windows 7 x64 german (as you should have noted it on the screenshot.. :p (x64 not, I know..)), Opera latest 11.01, Prevx latest..

    I cannot post the fp, because I don't have them and I think Prevx don't log it.., doesn't it? (Joe hint..) :shifty:

    As I already wrote, I entered an URL into the address bar and then the warning came up, but the warning URL was a different one..! o_O
    (I think it has to do with how Opera is querying/scanning URLs in background..)

    Unfortunately we don't log the URLs when blocking them. If you do happen to find the original URL again, could you please PM it to me so that I can investigate closer? I can't read it from the screenshot :doubt:

    Also note that Opera 11.01 is not supported by SafeOnline at this time! Only Versions 10.xx are so that could be the cause!

    Hi,

    I have the exact same issue with the same configuration (Win x64 Home Premium, German and Opera), but I doubt that it is related to the OS language.

    The issue persists since at least Opera version 10.63 and I accustomed myself to it so I didn't report it here.

    It always occurs after visiting a website using "207.net" / "107.net"-code for tracking user activities i.e. www.f-secure.com. So it's identical to the issue iNsuRRecTioN has. I assume that the site with the embedded user tracking code that iNsuRRecTioN visited before was from Unitymedia (german cable network provider). The link in my messages after visiting the F-Secure homepage looks like this: hxxp://fsecure.122.2O7.net/.....

    The odd thing is, that in my case the message is not displayed during visiting the F-secure homepage but after closing and restarting the browser without clearing the browsing cache.
    If I try to enter a web address in the address bar after restart I only manage it to type "www" and this is enough for PrevX to show the message that I try to visit a malicious site. So the PrevX message is triggered by searching the browser cache or the browser history. Clicking "Block" or "ignore" doesn't make any difference. Browsing in the open session isn't possible anymore so I have to clean the browser cache and restart the browser.
    So far I haven't encountered a crash of either Opera or another application while the message is shown.

    Hm, that's interesting. PrevX prevents from posting this reply, so I had to change the http in the example above in hxxp to prevent PrevX from intervening.

    Haha, good/nice one :D

    I hope Joe has new good information on this topic.

    And hopefully Prevx4 will log these blogs for fp reasons.. ;-)

    Btw. Joe, you really can't read the URL on my screenshot if you click on the screenshot and see it in full size?

    Then probably you have to increase the font size on your SOL warnings, because the screenshot is 1:1 resolution.. :ninja:

    I had things like this with Opera before too. It seems that when entering the URL, Opera already loads the pages it thinks you might be typing. So, if during a session you got a warning about a malicious site and close the browser and start it again to browse other sites, it might pop-up again because Opera is loading it again.

    I've read the URL now (thank you TonyW :)) and forwarded it onto our research team. This URL was blacklisted because it resulted in an exploit on a few users' PCs so the reversal process will take some time as we have to be certain that it is completely clean.

    Thanks! :)
