Intrusion message ''UXP Detection''

Steamboat_Willi — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:30:36 GMT

What does NAV intrusion message UXP Detection mean? I can't seem to find any definitions anywhere, on the Symantec site or elsewhere that defines what a "UXP" intrusion event actually is. All of a sudden my NAV started displaying this error message while browsing about using IE6 & XP. Sites like google, ebay, yahoo, gmail, amazon... all seem to suddenly have spawned these UXP messages. Would someone happen to know what UXP means? A full NAV system scan turns up nothing suspicious. Comments appreciated. Thanks.

Just started to get this error on one of my PCs. I've searched everywhere for this message with no luck

With Norton Intrusion Detection on, any use of IE7 is shut down with this Risk Name UPX Detection 59010 & Security Level High, URL unkown

Attemped intrusion blocked

Any Ideas

Thanks

I get the same message when I try to start Internet Explorer 8, and the browser box comes up for a few seconds and then just disappears. I would like info on that as well. Not sure if piggy backing on someone elses question is kosher, so my apologies in advance. Thanks.

Perhaps one of these? <s>

UXP -- User Experience

UXP -- User eXtension Protocol

UXP -- Unequal Erasure Protection

UXP -- Unexplained Phenomena

I like the last one <s>

I'm sure Ameya will help you sort it out but life is too serious not too laugh at it <s>

When you get the same message that's the way to go whenever possible rather than start a new thread.

Good luck in finding the answer but I see you have a Symantec Staffer involved so all should progress.

Can you supply the information that Ameya is now asking for please.

I'm having the same problem tonight. I'm on another PC to send this.

Using Norton Internet Security - version 16.7.2.11, XP SP3, can't get into Internet Explorer since it keeps kicking me out after trying to connect, but I think it is version 7. PLEASE HELP. All my files I need for work etc are on IE are on the computer that won't work!! I don't know the technical side of a computer so hope this helps!! I don't know where to find browser plug ins.

I am having the same problem it just started a couple of hours ago, I am using Norton 2008, Windows XP

Can it be something in the latest update that is triggering this error message?

It makes it impossible to work on the Internet,

I would like to recommend you folks to run live update. The new IPS packages now available for update, should fix your problem. If you are seeing thins problem even after getting a new IPS package, please add your information here on the forum.

I am sorry for all the inconvenience this is causing you.

Ameya, what does the abbreviation UXP stand for? Also, under Ithe nternat Settings/Intrusion Exclusions list, ALL mention of UXP intrusions are now gone. I guess Symantec removed them. (?) And the problem appears to be gone now. What does UXP mean? I'd like to know what type intrusion that is.

Re: UPX Detection 59010 cause Norton to shut down IE7

Ameya — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:31:20 GMT

UXP is part of our browser protection technology in the broader IPS technology feature in NIS/NAV N360.

John,

You message suggests that you had not received the latest IPS update. Can you please run LiveUpdate to get the new IPS content package and let me know if you still have this problem?

Thanks,

What is the UXP alert you see Patty?

I can help you fix the problem.

Re: Intrusion message ''UXP Detection''

Patty — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:15:48 GMT

Hello. Has this been fixed yet? I'm having the same problem in one of my machines. Maybe it has to do with a recent update from Windows.

I'm using NIS 2009 + Win XP SP3 + Firefox 2.0.0.4 + Internet Explorer 6

I stopped it temporarily by deactivating the Intrusion Detection on NIS.

TIA for any help.

Hi John and Patty,

Can you tell me the IPS version number from the security history? You can see it by selecting the Intrusion Prevention from the top down list on the history page.

I want to see if you got the new IPS package update or not.

We're OK now

Ran a full system scan last night, but that didn't fix it

rebooted twice this morning, and I'm pretty sure we got an automatic live update, now we're OK it seems
