Hi

 

I use ESET Smart Security 8.0 (see attachment)

 

I can't open this website completely: hxxp://support.amd.com/de-de/download

 

When I switch off the Firewall and virus scanner - I can now open this website completely.

 

Should I switch back to Smart Security 7.0 or what can I do to solve the problem?

 

Thank you

 

Addition

Now I have installed ESET Smart Security - 7.0.302.26 - and my problems are gone

Hello, I think be this has nothing to do with the version of ESS, but with the VSD version.

 

Because I'm also using ESS 8 and I can access the site (VSD 10510). So ESET maybe have just pushed out an VSD update that fixes the wrong website-blocking at the same time you downgraded to v7.

I would suggest you to upgrade to v8 again.

@Zatong

 

Please clarify for us so we can know if there is a problem with the software or if the website was blocked when you tried.

 

Was the site blocked, did you see a thread detection warning, anything at all?  Or did it completely fail to load?

Hi,

 

I have installed ESS8 again. The problem is the same as before.

I waited for one or two minutes, but the site wasn't load completely.

 

I have tested with Firefox 32.0.3 and Opera 25 and Chrome 37

All the same

 

Is there a problem to load... "metrics.amd.com"  - see picture 1 - or "s.ytimg.com"?

 

Picture 1 with ESS8 an picture 2 with deactivated ESS8

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

btw: what is "VSD version"?

Right, so the site loads slowly, or doesn't load completely so the drop-down menu doesn't work correctly.

 

I no longer have V8 installed so I tried with the latest V7 build and it loaded fine.

 

VSD = Virus Signature Database, but that doesn't matter now. :)

Hello,
yes it isn't working correctly.

But I at first thought it would be blocked or something of this kind, but now I see that it is quite a issue.

 

And thanks for your GIF!

The system

Win 7 SP1, x64

ESS 8.0.301.3

Firefox 32.0.3

Site: hxxp://support.amd.com/drivers/xml/driver_09_us.xml

 

The infinite loading

Yes the site never loads completely.

So I used Firefox Network analysis to find out what is the "rotten apple".

Firefox tried to load the file hxxp://support.amd.com/drivers/xml/driver_09_us.xml and never finished with that. It sometimes downloaded 3-4 MB!

And now I tried to beat these bad file! ;)

So I opened that file in a new tab and this occurred:

  • The first time (but strangely only the first time) it loaded quite fast and all was ok.
    So I was able to load the whole site, because now Firefox had this file in my cache.
    I looked at the size of the file and it was the largest file that was downloaded on the site, but it was still only 500 kB large.
  • Then I did a reload of the whole site without using the cache and - like I expected - it again doesn't end loading (because of this file). So I open the file again, but now it doesn't ended loading too!
    And after a few loads it was still the same.

To ignore this file I put it on the block list of ESS and the website loaded fine of course.
But I couldn't select something in the list.

And that is logical, because I think the bad XML file is used for the input dialogue.

 

Workaround

But I found a workaround:

You have to exclude the bad file from the web protection.

Then I also was able to fill in the entries into the dropdown fields.

 

And because of the fact that the web protection is causing the issue also NOD32 v 8 should be affected, because NOD32 also uses the web protection.

 

P.S.: The bad file is 580 MB large.

Hello,

 

the Devs found root cause of the issue and proposed a fix.

It will be included in Internet protection module higher than 1147B (this one does not include the fix).

 

Thank you for reporting this issue with detailed description how to reproduce it, the gif was really helpful.

What exactly is your question?

 

The module update will be released automatically through the VSD updates.

You don't have to reinstall ESS.

FYI see this KB article: hxxp://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN3415&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US&searchid=1412796137155

 

This module will be released to all supported versions, not only V8.

 

After you have updated as instructed in the KB article you can right-click on your systray ESET icon "e" and click "About" then look up the "Internet Protection Module" to see if you now have 1150B.

 

If you want to go back to V8 now to verify that this module fixes the problem, then you also have to enable pre-release updates in V8 as well, as the module will stay on the pre-release servers for some time before its put on the regular update servers.

@rugk: He is asking about ESS8 because he downgraded from V8 to V7 to fix his problem. Therefore he is asking when the module is released so he can use V8 again.

@Zatong: you can check the module version in ESS7. When you get Internet protection module 1150 (or higher), you can upgrade back to V8 as it will be there too.

@ESET Stuff: please, correct me if I'm wrong

Hi,

 

I switched back to ESS 7, that's why I asked if I can reinstall the version 8 ;)

Now I understand... :)

ESS 7.0.317.4 ➔  Internet protection module (German: Internet-Schutz) 1144 (20140909)

(see schreenshot)

 

...or is 1150 (or higher) only for ESS 8?

No the module updates are for every supported ESET product.

 

But are you sure you selected pre-release-updates and cleaned the update cache?

1150 is not released yet. You need to wait for it, or change the update settings to pre-release :)
