Hi community,

 

My problem is that I have started to be get warnings from F-secure Client Security while web-surfing that

The point is that I am not visiting that blocked site, but I guess it redirects me to it. I made some research myself and found out that these quantserve "things" are just tracking cookies for a big data collecting company.

I tried to block it in my:

1. Firefox browser; 2. Windows hosts file; 3. Internet filter in D-link router

but with no success so far.

Could anyone clarify how can I solve this issue?

    Hi,

     

    We have had this problem too.  It only seems to affect Firefox version 22,  IE is not affected.

     

    For now i have had to switch off Browsing protection because we have over 600 users many of which use Firefox 22 and have had a number of websites blocked.

     

    Can someone please update us to when this will be fixed?

     

    Thanks

    Well, I think it was fixed somehow since I have no longer receive that type of messages. At the mean time, I switched to TOR browser bundle, which helps with all that tracking stuff.

    Hello,

     

    I have moved this post to End-point Security board as F-Secure Client Security is part of our Business Suite product.

     

    Thanks.


    Best Regards,
    Jayson
