DiscoveredJoys Posted June 3, 2014 ID:837153 Share Posted June 3, 2014 For your information: I've found that the automatic download update for Opera 22 (22.0.1471.50) was being prevented - until I suspended MBAE 0.10.3.0100. Opera 21 had been sluggish for a couple of weeks, I imagine the constant attempts to download the update were using resource. Firefox updates did not seem to be affected. I'm also running MBAM 2.0.2.1012, and Kaspersky Internet Security 14.0.0.4651(g) on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit machine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted June 3, 2014 Staff ID:837227 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks for reporting and welcome to the forum! Can you please post the MBAE logs? You can find information on how to do that here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff pbust Posted June 3, 2014 Staff ID:837242 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Received the logs, thanks! However in the logs there's no indication of any blocks by MBAE. Did you receive a popup from MBAE saying "exploit attempt blocked" when trying to upgrade Opera? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoveredJoys Posted June 3, 2014 Author ID:837267 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I received no popups and didn't think to look at the processes running. However halting MBAE coincided with the Opera download starting (yet again) and running to completion (this time). Cause or correlation? I cannot now tell.

DiscoveredJoys Posted June 3, 2014 Author ID:837268 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I should add that I manually invoked the check for updates from the Opera menu as I thought it strange that there had been none recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted June 3, 2014 Staff ID:837301 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks for the details. We'll try to replicate it internally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted June 8, 2014 ID:839224 Share Posted June 8, 2014 FWIW, I have Opera, Opera Next and Opera Developer. I manually check their FTP site for updates, and manually updating has yet to cause me any problems. So this must be restricted to the internal updating method. Pedro, since I can access the FTP, I can download an older version and initiate internal updates on demand. Have you already pinpointed the issue, or would more logs help?

Staff pbust Posted June 9, 2014 Staff ID:839525 Share Posted June 9, 2014 More logs would help, especially from different OS versions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted June 9, 2014 ID:839574 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'll grab the next oldest release of Opera, Opera Next, and Opera developer and install them and then try to update them internally with MBAE enabled and report back. Want logs even if I don't have any issues? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted June 9, 2014 Staff ID:839599 Share Posted June 9, 2014 No, only if you have issues. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L. Galt Posted June 9, 2014 ID:839610 Share Posted June 9, 2014 1) Installed Opera_21.0.1432.67_Setup, upon opening it notified me that an update was available, but was extremely sluggish to respond. I let it update, and no tabs would load after it achieved UAC elevation. I then closed Opera, and ran it again. This time there was no slow down of loading web pages, and the version had incremented to the latest version. 2) Installed Opera_Next_22.0.1471.34_Setup, and upon running Opera after install, I did not get any sort of pop up stating that there was a new version available, but the app was again extremely sluggish to respond, and when I went to the About Opera tab, I saw the following: 22.0.1471.34 - Restart Opera to update to version 22.0.1471.40 Upon restarting, Opera Next had automatically updated, as evidenced in the about tab: 22.0.1471.40 - Opera is up to date 3) Finally, installed Opera_Developer_23.0.1514.1_Setup, and it performed identically to Opera Next. Sluggish to load tabs (in fact, it did nto load the default tabs I had in Opera, like SpeedDial and About, and I had to re-enter the URLs / URNs manually to show them in new tabs), and then in the about tab I see 23.0.1514.1 - Restart Opera to update to version 23.0.1522.0 and after restarting I see 23.0.1522.0 - Opera is up to date NOTE: All three steps were performed with MBAE running, and no MBAE dialogs, warnings, nor errors were encountered. Then, to see if there was a more underlying cause, I closed out of MBAE's protection (using stop protection), and performed all three steps again. Same results, including the sluggishness. So, definitely not resulting from MBAE. HTH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff pbust Posted June 9, 2014 Staff ID:839722 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks for the thorough testing and posting the findings John, this is very helpful.Unless there are any other indications of problems with MBAE I will closed this thread as solved.
