Oh, for God's sake!
Jun. 29th, 2016 04:16 pmNormally I use my desktop for eBaying, but that's out of action at the moment (fairly certain it's a dud on-off switch, but you have to dismantle the entire PC to get at the connector, and I've got a horrid feeling it's proprietary), so when I went to bid on a bargain earlier (£400+ worth of wheelchair cushion that eventually went for £62) I used my laptop, which promptly froze as Kaspersky tried to open up a safe browser window in Firefox. And of course the sale expired before I had time to troubleshoot it as I was trying to drop in a literally last minute high bid.
On further poking, Kaspersky seems completly unable to open a safe browser window for eBay. and I'm not certain if it can manage for anything else either. I've got a very plain vanilla Win 10 setup, and I'm pretty certain I've gotten in on the laptop in the past, so it looks like Kaspersky and Mozilla are back to playing silly buggers with each other, where each new version of Firefox screws up Kaspersky's interface until they can play catch up. There is a solution, I've dug into Kaspersky's settings and turned it off for eBay, but what's the point of browser companies urging us to have working security software if your browser then stops the security software from working?
Grrrr!!!!!
