Windows Defender alerts to send firefox.exe to microsoft after upgrade to 16.0.2

Windows Defender has posted a message in the center of maintenance of Windows with a title "review the files that Windows Defender will send to Microsoft (Important).

It shows a popup message that informs that Windows Defender should do a presentation type of following files:
"Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe".
"Mozilla Firefox\plugin - container.exe.

This happens in my desktop PC (Win 7 x 64 Ultimate SP1) and in my computer laptop (Windows 7 SP1 for x 64 homepage), the difference being that in the case of the laptop computer, an additional file should be reported i.e. "Mozilla Maintenace Service\maintenanceservice_tmp.exe.

Hello shadownate, I think it's a normal process when you are a Member of CARDS (Service of Protection of Microsoft Active) and chose to communicate information about the unknown applications. where microsoft defender is supplied in a version of the application that does not appear in the ms database ' again (which might well be the case for firefox executable immediately after an update), they download the file and analyze it - that's how they collect new information to create signatures from unknown threats. Plugin - container.exe & maintenanceservice.exe are part of firefox and don't pose a risk to your system.

  • Firefox shortcut icon error after upgrading to 7.0

    I have upgrade my Firefox 7.0, but the shortcut icon is changed not like it used to be, but it resembled an icon of the installer. When I clicked it, it opens Firefox browser very well without any errors. Why is it happening and how to fix?

    Thanks a lot before.

    Try resetting the Windows icon cache.

    • Open the task (Ctrl + Shift + ESC) Manager
    • In the processes tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select end process.
    • Open the file picker via ' file > new task (run) "and click on the Browse button.
    • Type or paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the file name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
    • Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete on the shortcut menu to delete the file.
    • After that the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process through "file > new task" for the job and work the taskbar to return.
    • It is possible that the IconCache.db file is a hidden file, and in this case you must enable the display of hidden files. You can verify that you can see the file before doing above mentioned as follows.

  • Firefox does not start after upgrade to 8.0, 9.0 now - conflict eSSO - YET?

    After the upgrade of Firefox 7 to 8, I was unable to start the program, probably due to the makings of eSSO of Oracle running on my computer. I started v 3.6 which doesn't have this problem. I just tried upgrading to v. 9.0 and was dismayed to find that this bug is not fixed. Here, I am back to 3.6 v, once again, but I need a modern browser that can run HTML5. If this can not be repaired, I switch to Chrome.

    Hangs at startup can occur in Firefox 7 or higher (but not Firefox 6 or an earlier version) If you use a login system company like IBM Tivoli Access Manager or Oracle Enterprise Single Sign on Manager (bug 680927). See the bug for a workaround report suggested or downgrade from 3.6.xx of Firefox (available here), which is still maintained.

    Ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes#Crash_when_starting_Firefox

    Workaround for crash is linked HERE, under "Attachments" in the bug report. When you click this link, it will display the contents of the .reg file (you can save the page as "ff7fix.reg" on your computer and then merge in the Windows registry, f you are used to do this).

I need to open several sites to work and the only way to do it now is to make sure, I click on the current use in "pages" under General Option of the tools. It's getting very boring because I keep changing my tabs to different sites in a meeting and I am used to simply close the browser, based on making them all back in when you restart Firefox.

    Have you tried to delete the file or move it to another location?

    There should also be a file sessionstore.bak that contains the previous session, i.e. the sessionstore.js file found at the beginning of the current session and is used to restore the previous session via ' history > restore previous Session '.

    Hi all

    I use VMware 6.5.3 (build 185404) and I have a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine. It had been fine until I upgraded to match my latest version of VMware tools. Now, I have only a part of the Windows desktop. For example, the menu set start and the toolbar are missing. It's like a little on each side and the top and bottom have been stripped.

    The virtual machine screen resolution is only 800 x 600, but does not help get the resolution of the virtual machine.

  • Windows Defender can submit files, but don't tell me why / if they are malicious.

    Hello. In a first step, here are some details about the system I'm working with: it's running Windows 7 Professional, protected by NOD32 v4 antivirus with Windows Defender running in real time. Each week, I scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware. I use Opera 10.1 for webbrowsing and generally move away from javascript. I haven't downloaded or manually installed all the software in weeks. Only the automatic updates were executed for various programs. It's one of these programs I run steam.
    A few days ago, when automatic steam updated, something very strange happened. While Steam was Patching itself, it generates a process called SteamServiceTmp.exe. I saw this happen in the past several times (I looked in Process Explorer), so I don't think much at all. Steam updates all the time. However, this time for some reason a Windows Action Center popup balloon popped up with a red X and said he wanted to send SteamServiceTmp.exe to Microsoft. The exact wording of the message balloon has been "review files that Windows Defender will send to Microsoft (Important). I was a bit panicked, because I didn't know what was going on. ŒIL blink saw nothing, and defender was as if SteamServiceTmp was a piece of malware. Unfortunately, Defender not really said anything explicit. I checked the logs for Defender and quarantine, but found nothing. Only, I could find evidence that something happened when I checked the system event viewer. The logs in Event Viewer are calling it a "AVsubmission."
    In recent days this has happened twice. Once after an update to Adobe Flash player, I downloaded directly from their site, and once when you play a game to steam SteamOverlayUI.exe. As far as I know, each of these files came back clean. VirusTotal.com can't find something wrong with the files, NOD 32 is not catching whatever it is, and MalwareBytes Antimalware doesn't work, either. Here again, I've never seen Windows Defender act like that, or start sending files so ambitiously without offering an explanation why, so I am very worried that something malicious.  In addition, I'm hesitant to think that it was a false positive in all. If this was the case, then EVERYONE who runs the steam and Windows Defender (not bad people!) would have seen it! I seem to be the only one I can find.
    Is there a way I can understand what happened here and a way to make sure my system is safe? I can't find reason to believe that these normally run malicious files, but I can't "sees no reason that Defender would be entering and submitting otherwise.

    Suggestions:

    To explain this, it is not an infection of file warning, it was a suspicious file warning.

    MSE did something similar, except that it came with a popup "this file is suspicious please send to Microsoft for inspection" and you click on send, it was.

    This means that the triggered some heuristic points, but not enough to classify it as a threat.

    I believe that this has already been fixed, probably millions of users who would be subject to the same file.

    Released December 14, 2009 virus definition classifies it as Trojan horse.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=PWS%3aWin32%2fSteam.B&ThreatID=-2147370721

    My mistake, the Trojan report is for Win32/Steam.B. But you can trust me on my rest of post.
    Still, Microsoft!

  • can not update; "" Windows or windows defender ' more and I lost my; "' help and support ' file system on startup. Need help to get all that, please.

    I can't update "windows" or "windows defender". Followed the steps described by Microsoft help, tried to download manually, have asked Microsoft to help (no response yet) these first two things didn't work. I even had something like; change setting.that message security came for "Windows update", I have change the security setting, did not just well, still nothing.
    Windows Defender gives me an error code that looks like this;
    Error Code 0 x 80070005
    That's all I can get, and it will not update.
    and on top of it, I've lost my "Microsoft Help and support (it) when I click Start and click Help and support, I get a (?) all help options or when I click on it nothing there is totally 'empty '.
    I have one more problem.
    I tried to defrag my computer, and I can't do it either. I get a grey screen and if I click on anylise or defragment, it does nothing, no error message or anything else. Tried to manually defragment Traore does not work, tried to load a defrag on the web program, wouldn't let me load it.
    Nobody knows what happens here? why I'm having these problems all of a sudden? I do nothing but send E-mails and read my emails and I do not browse the internet or enter sites that are safer. So, what can I do? How to make everything return to normal? can someone help me with this?
    Also let me tell you right now, I'm not an expert on how to do things on the computer, so I'm scitish when it receives or sounds complicated. I don't want to lose my entire system because of these unfortenate none of the work programmes.

    Hello shessy49, welcome.

    I would recommend that we run a SFC (System File Checker) first scan to see what he finds. Try this:

    1. click on START
    2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter
    3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed
    4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    5 restart your computer

    ---
    After the reboot
    ---

    1. click on START
    2. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
    3. type "sfc/scannow" (without the quotes) and press enter

    If the question started very recently, you can try a system restore:

    1. click on START
    2. click on "all programs".
    3. click on "Accessories".
    4. click on "system tools."
    5. click on "system restore."

    6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.

  • Uninstall Windows Defender Checkpoint

    HI, I'm having issues after uninstall it last of WDC - my WORK as messengers, but explore cannot display Web pages. I did twice before the last control point and internet system restore work again until the "Windows Defender Cehckpoins uninstall again. What is going on? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi EsterDQ,

    · You have security software installed on your computer?

    · Are running you windows update regularly?

    · Windows XP is your windows XP?

    In Windows defender real-time protection monitors critical checkpoints in Windows. These control points are triggered when programs make changes to your Windows configuration. These changes can occur when you install the software on your computer, or they can occur when the software spyware or other potentially unwanted software tries to install on your computer.

    If the real-time Protection system detects a change in any checkpoint, Windows Defender alerts you and offers the opportunity for you to allow or block the change.

    When you receive the error message internet explore cannot display the Web page, run the fix it from the link below and check if it helps: you receive an error message in Internet Explorer: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage":http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956196

    Also adding to that, I suggest to run online virus scan and check if any malware or virus detected on the computer activity. You can run the scan for viruses online from the link below: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
