dst-ap 0 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Dear All, I have one of our web-devs trying to use Selenium standalone server and when launching the java application through Eclipse ESET A/V blocks it with the following message: 31/07/2013 15:37:15 Real-time file system protection file C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\customProfileDir1533f76491fe447bb181607f65fbead4\prefs-1.js JS/SecurityDisabler.A.Gen potentially unwanted application deleted - quarantined domian\username Event occurred on a file modified by the application: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe. 31/07/2013 15:37:15 Real-time file system protection file C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\customProfileDir1533f76491fe447bb181607f65fbead4\prefs-1.js JS/SecurityDisabler.A.Gen potentially unwanted application deleted - quarantined domian\username Event occurred on a file modified by the application: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe. 31/07/2013 15:37:13 Real-time file system protection file C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\customProfileDir1533f76491fe447bb181607f65fbead4\prefs-1.js JS/SecurityDisabler.A.Gen potentially unwanted application deleted - quarantined domian\username Event occurred on a file modified by the application: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe. It looks like its blocking the attempt of Firefox browser been launch which incidentally its version 22.

Administrators Marcos 4,935 Posted August 1, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2013 Please submit prefs-1.js to ESET as per the instruction here and with a link to this topic enclosed. Although it's unlikely to be false positive, we'd like to check it out to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Al Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Was there any fix for this as I've hit the same issue? The only way round I've found is to disable unwanted application checking which I'd rather not do. Thanks Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaclav 0 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Is there any solution except disabling virus protection? Thanks Vaclav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,935 Posted October 25, 2013 Administrators Share Posted October 25, 2013 All prefs*.js files that we've received and analyzed had Firefox security features disabled. Please submit your files to ESET as per the instructions here if you think that your files are safe and are detected erroneously. Note that these files are not detected as malware but as PUA (potentially unwanted applications) which is an optional detection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arakasi 549 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) In addition to what Marcos stated, to help ..... Optional, meaning..... you and any other user / person can turn off or disable that feature, and it will be allowed after the fact. Just so were all clear Edited October 26, 2013 by Arakasi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
