pbust #2 Posted October 14, 2015 Which beta version are you running? This problem should be fixed in 1.08.1.1031 Check the "readme first" link in my signature for the MBAE logs location under XP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbust #4 Posted October 14, 2015 Re: the vbscript, I thought you said Firefox. Are you getting this alert also on Firefox or not? As for the fingerprinting exploit, where you trying to paste text, image, etc.? Paste into a text box? In the malwarebytes forum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ky331 #5 Posted October 14, 2015 John, I've also encountered several security certificate errors using IE8 in XP... but not in other browsers there. So I think it's best to avoid IE in XP at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbust #8 Posted October 15, 2015 VB script error was Internet Explorer, although Firefox was openOK. That's normal then. This is just MBAE preventing IE from loading the deprecated vbscript.dll module. Fingerprint - pasting text into a reply in Malwarebytes forum using Shift>InsertWasn't able to repro. Can you repro with any text? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John A #9 Posted October 15, 2015 Wasn't able to repro. Can you repro with any text? Ahhh. It actually happens when I try to attach an image, ie when I click Browse. I originally thought it was the paste because I had just done that prior to adding an image. Yes it is repro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbust #10 Posted October 16, 2015 What is the image name and the path to the directory? Also when you click the "Attach" button what directory does your browser show by default? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John A #11 Posted October 16, 2015 c:\documents and settings\john\desktop\Clipboard02.jpg The error occurs before the browser displays the directory, but I turned off MBAE and tried it - it shows Desktop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbust #12 Posted October 16, 2015 Do you have any mbae files on the desktop, like the mbae installers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John A #13 Posted October 16, 2015 No, they are in the Downloads folder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John A #14 Posted October 16, 2015 Interesting. I did the following:Turn off MBAEAttach an image in a forum response from a different directory (downloads), so resetting the Attach browse directory.Close IEStart MBAEOpen IE and repeat the Attach image operation, it works with no alert from MBAE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbust #15 Posted October 17, 2015 Hmmm interesting. Will attempt to repro this one although I suspect it will be difficult to repro as there are many variables such as the files on disk, directories, etc.If you manage to figure out a way to repro this consistently let me know so we can send you a debug build to collect some extra logs.

John A #16 Posted October 17, 2015 Sorry, I should have added ... but it still fails if I navigate to the Desktop. I can reproduce it easily. All I have to do is Attach a file to a reply and when the browse windows opens navigate to Desktop and the MBAE block occurs. (But it doesn't fail for other locations I tried, only fails on Desktop) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
