Various bugs

I found a few bugs in this beta.

Firstly, the new (I think it's new) SSL protocol scanning thing. When I was entering my advanced setup tree, I chose (under "Antivirus and Antispyware"/"Protocol filtering"/"SSL") "Always scan SSL protocol (excluded and trusted certificates will remain valid)", and "Ask about certificate validity" for both of the others. When I tried to reach an SSL encrypted site, Firefox displayed "Secure Connection Failed (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)". This happened to me for every secure site I went onto. After a while I realized it was ESS and I disabled the SSL protocol filtering.

EDIT: Here is an image of Firefox.

Secondly, the SysInspector thing. I'm not really sure what it's intended to guide for, but to my knowledge it shows Windows-required processed and other software-required entries as high as Risk Level 6. Here is a list of some that I'm pretty sure are valid:

Thirdly, when I rebooted my computer after I installed the beta and configured my settings, it started an in-depth scan of my entire system. The only on-demand scan I saw in the scheduler was on Tuesday, and today is Sunday. Might just be a quirk in my PC or a bug in ESS.


Fourthly, when I was downloading and EICAR test file, Firefox downloaded a file of 0 bytes and ESS displayed an alert, which was what I expected. However ESS displayed the alert three or four more times until it stopped. Also, when I downloaded the "eicarcom2.zip" which is the Eicar test file buried in two layers of ZIP, ESS also displayed an alert but Firefox downloaded the entire 308 bytes, and the file was still on my desktop until I unzipped it and ESS deleted it (without notification, I might add). I find this rather strange.

Fifthly, when I opened the personal firewall log, it refreshed every time a new alert was detected. As the personal firewall log was loaded with "Detected DNS cache poisoning attack" 's which were apparently a bug from ESS3, and I was also downloading something, it kept trying to refresh a huge (3 MB at least) file and eventually I had to use the Task Manager to end it. I know this isn't specific to ESS4 but I felt I would just file it under my general bug report here.

Finally, I noticed that none of the top antiviruses I tried would detect malicious batch file execution. This is also not specific to ESS4 but a general statement.

 

You need to export the ESET_RootSslCert certificate from certmgr.msc Trusted Root CA store and import it manually to FF. Otherwise it won't work.

No idea whether there's an API that'd make importing certificates into FF from third-party apps available.

 

Okay, I've done that. All the new SSL encrypted sites I open are fine. However, when I open an SSL encrypted site I opened before I imported the certificate, Firefox reports another issue: Secure Connection Failed (Error code: sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial)

NFC... I consider the entire handling of insecure/invalid/whatnot certificates in FF3 just horrible.

Can you find the offending certificates in FF and delete them and try again?

 

Okay, now the SSL Encryption check succeeds. However, now there is another problem that seems to be specific to Yahoo Mail. I tried several other SSL Encryption checks and they all succeeded, and Paypal also seems to give me a secure connection. However, I go to Yahoo Mail, and all I get is a blank screen. I've deleted the offending certificates but it still fails. Any idea why?
(Note: Internet explorer fails too.

 

I don't use Yahoo, sorry. Maybe someone else.
