HI folks I not long started using processguard (was using 3.050 & now 3.100) Even tho i let learning mode do its thing, i still get alerts from PG that Opera (7.6beta 4) is blocked from accessing physical mem (usually on sites that have a embeded media player or play a video, but on others to I know IE & Maybe even firefox need to access the mem, just want to know if it ok to give Opera the same rights Kudos to DCS for such a great security app which is very light on resources (unlike PrevX lol) Cheers
Hi OddBod Should be OK but if you do not lose functionality then a few alerts can just be ignored, remember that the Opera process cannot be changed once protected by PG. HTH Pilli.
Hi OddBod I use Opera 7 + 8.0 beta, and i haven't had any alerts from PG that Opera is blocked from accessing physical memory (access physical memory is not checked) at all.
This is most likely not Opera itself but Java applets in the web pages. In my experience, Sun's Java Runtime Environment (which Opera uses) will attempt Physical Memory access but this can be blocked with no ill-effect.
Cheers folks for the help. It does have a affect here when blocked as in the video doesnt play (just a black screen also & this will be hard to describe, but just as PG alerts me, in opera its like the browser shudders (ie no movement & animated gif's slow & stall) Since IE & Firefox seem to be recommended to be allowed to use that setting, i think it ok to let Opera use it also (besides IE lets thru all sorts, hence i only use it for windowsupdates & use mainly Firefox or opera (which i still say is faster at loading displaying pages) for any real surfing Thanks again
I recommend you keep physical memory access set to off, I have noticed some sites attempting to gather information through java which leads to an alert from Process Guard.
