ONLINE ARMOR CONFLICT WITH JAVA P2P AFTER RECENT UPDATES

HI,

after some updates from online armor, i am unable to open my Limewire.
I get an error message telling me i need 'java runtime environment 5.0'. i have java & have re-installed my java. i have reinstalled Limewire Beta & 6.16 numerous times, only to get that same java message.
After hours of painstaking troubleshooting -- It seems to be my Online Armor.
If i turn my Program Guard off, i have no problems opening Limewire.
But once i put the Program Guard back on i get the java error message.
Please mike why is this Happening & how can i fix this. I have already tried
re-installing OA aswell. This never happened until today.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thankyou.

 

Did you check in OA's "Programs" that all items related to Limewire and Java are "Trusted".

Some apps will not function properly as "Allowed".

 

I don't use OA so sorry my ignorance but, does OA includes some kind of whitelist for trusted apps?

 

Yes i have tried that already. Java & Limewire are all set to Trusted.
I just turn the program guard off then open limewire the turn Program guard back On.

 

Yes, but not all apps are included. The last time I installed OA (approx several weeks ago) Opera was not part of the whitelist.

 

Have you tried enabling Learning Mode prior to opening Limewire?

Would recommend posting on the OA Support Forums.

 

Yes i have tried Learning Mode aswell.

Will Do.

 

The best way is -- to remove everything from the programs, turn on learnign mode, reboot (just in case something is loaded as autorun), start application in trouble, turn off learning mode.

 

Depends on the version of the Opera you use. The problem with those whitelists is they need a lot of attention. Too hard work but too low outcome. Every new file must be checked manually. In any case the best way is when HIPS cooperates with up-to-date antivirus. Antivirus is signature based, so it can deal with the modifications, new version, localizations etc. White list is just hash based, so changing a single byte in the file produces new hash while the file itself is the same program.

 

Hi,

just installed LimeWire 4.16.0 for checking it out.
OA paid 2.1.0.112, Java Runtime Environment Version 6 Update 5.
But no problem here, LimeWire runs fine, no error.
Seems like something went wrong at installation related to OA.
Just put OA in learning mode and uninstall and reinstall Java and LimeWire.
Or it's a rare OA bug.

Cheers
