Re: Itunes and Firefox listed as possible keyloggers!!??

are you on 360v1 or 360v2?   looks like v1 to me (but im no expert on 360)

i just installed the trial on a test machine so i could try to follow this thread...

but the screen i have (v2) is differnt on the mozilla link you provided....

if your on v1 then i would update to v2 (it's free)...

 

 

fwiw... i've never had to disable any portion of a norton product for itunes or FF......  i would also think both of those would be common malware targets.....

The orginal poster to the thread (you in this case) has that control.   See the green 'Solution?' buttons to the right?   Click the one next to post that you would like to mark as the solution.

 

 


Ahhh! Consider it done kind Sir. :smileyhappy:

Now you went and gave me the heebee geebees again! :smileywink:

 

As stated in the post I referenced on the Mozilla boards--firefox is not really the problem. The conflict is between add on extension(s) and 360. It is not a universal problem for 360/Forefox users.

 

The OP on the Mozilla board had 7 extensions installed: "Adblock Plus, Pic Lens, NoScript, PDF downloader, Cooliris Previews, Simple Mail, and Talkback."  I have 4 of those 7 extensions installed-- within those 4 likely lies the source of the conflict. (The extensions we share are listed in bold print).

 

Of course this still leaves unexplained the cause of the itunes/keylogger issue.  


After reconsideration I've decided to keep itunes blocked, for now, just to be on the safe side. I can manually search for updates or album art if needed.

 

By the way is your Eavesdropping Protection activated? (Just curious)

I have a similar problem...Norton 360 (v.2.3.0.9) cz has identified ICQ.exe as a polling keylogger, winpatrol.exe and ctfmon.exe as hook keyloggers and blocked them...

 

ICQ v 6.0

WinPatrol 2008 Free   v 15.0.2008.0


I'm just bumping this post because I think it may have been overlooked in the confusion-- so to speak.

 

Is this still a current problem for you SaLaDiN? If not how did you resolve it?

interesting....  test machine was vista when i installed the trial.... no Eavesdropping Protection on the setting menu.... the reason i asked about version...

 

switched to XP SP2....  installed trial again...  this time Eavesdropping Protection appears in the setting menu....  with the feature disabled by default....

 

don't have itunes on the test system :smileysad:   don't have time to try this right now on a system that has itunes... maybe someone else will test it....   if not i'll try to do it later....

 

no issue with FF2.0.0.14 with no addins....  again limited time right now.... so i can't play with adding your addins one at a time....  but might later....

Re: Itunes and Firefox listed as possible keyloggers!!??

Hi Guys and Gals,

 

Have we been able to narrow the mystery down to a single plugin? I would love to be able to say conclusively "when you install XXX, N360 starts giving you a warning in Eavesdropping protection."
