Pale Moon forum

i recently had a problem with both my anti-virus (eset security suite 5) and a paid for malwarebytes pro. i had to renew my license for the eset, everything was ok, then malwarebytes had to be uninstalled with a cleaning tool they gave me, and re-installed again, so the "trial" version prompt would stop.

Then i lost my internet, (RR, twc), so they sent a tech over, and he told me i had to uninstall my eset and re-install it. Got my internet back. Now I thought everything was ok, but when i go to log into my hotmail, i get a warning from palemoon that somebody might be tampering with my system. But i can get into it using iron, and everything looks fine. no warnings.

Also i can't access the FF add-on site, (says license isn't valid) i also get it when i try to update fanboys adblock plus, i can get to ghostery site but it won't update either. It seems like palemoon somehow got infected. I downloaded FF just to see and same warnings about licenses, or just won't update. all other sites i can access, just my hotmail acc., and FF add-ons. i can check to see if my plug-ins are up to date on that site.

I had to uninstall adblock plus and get a fresh updated copy from softpedia, and get an updated adblock, tracking, and annoyances lists. It seems PM is having trouble authenticating licences on certain sites. I ran malwarebyes pro, my anti-virus, windows defender and super-anti-spyware and everything comes up clean. No resources look suspicious. I don't know what to do.

Is anyone else having these kind of problems? I got a feeling I'm going to have to uninstall PM completely and start from scratch, which would really suck. It took a lot of time to set it up the way i like it. before the security renewal thing, everything was working fine. But again, FF did the same thing???

and all these warnings and unable to access some security add-on sites are coming from PM, telling me the sites licenses are suspect. Is there a way to fix this w/o having to start over again?

This seems what your pc is infected.
Why you load ablock from softpedia? This isn't the original site. This is it: http://adblockplus.org/ or check the mozilla addon site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/a ... block-plus

I don't have your problems. So you better check your pc

Those sites give me this warning...

This Connection is Untrusted





You have asked Pale Moon to connect
securely to addons.mozilla.org, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.



What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.


Softpedia was the only trusted place i could get the adblock plus from. Then i went to fanboys site and dl'd the 3 current FF lists.

I would like a little more feedback if anyone is willing. I do not think my pc is infected. i have noscript, ghostery, better privacy and always check out my mail in private mode, if that helps. nothing gets changed, my resources are normal for my usage, cpu and memeory are normal for my usage...task manager shows nothing that shouldn't be running...anybody?


Like i said, i can do everything normal with iron, but pale moon, and even FF give me these invalid license warnings and block me from accessing these security sites.

And i did check my pc, with all the tools i have. See my 1st post. Oh, and I'm using the latest version of 64 bit palemoon.
i wasn't have any problems before the eset security suite renewal, (uninstall and re-install and the malwarebytes fix.

I just did a restore from using the PM backup tool. Now it's telling me a theme (dark orange) that I've been using all along isn't supported with this version. This shit's really messed up.

You better complete uninstall pale moon and do a fresh clean install.
Or alternative you create a new pale moon profil.

The official adblock site and the mozilla addon site don't give a warning, cause there is no problem with the two sites.

Better check with some other tools, apart of ESET and malwarebytes for virus and trojans. As for Palemoon you can try an emergency test with the portable version, so you can see if the programs mess with palemoon or is corrputed the profile for one good time.

I tried completely removing palemoon and registry with revo uninstaller, and any traces of it, and dl'ing a fresh install of PM, but still get the same results. i know my pc isn't infected, what happened was somehow when i updated malwarebytes , i had to use a special cleaning tool they sent me. (i have a paid version).

So maybe between renewing my license and updating my eset security suite and malwarebytes, it borked the installer for palemoon. I had to get FF 16.1, and now everything is working fine, no warning signs. the theme i was using doesn't work on version 16.1 cuz the guy who made it didn't update it yet. This same thing happened before. i just have to wiat for him to update it.

so meanwhile, I'll mess around from time to time to find out what happened, cuz I'd rather use PM than FF. But to be honest, FF works better on the huge website i mostly use. PM is slow on it, slow loading pics, and i get weird font issues with it. Anyway, thank you all for the help. I appreciate it.

I got a pm from either staff or Moonchild about posting in the correct forum. It was dated the 13th, and i hardly ever post here, so i hope this is the right forum and it was just a general info thing to all members. If it was directed to me let me know, cuz I'm pretty sure this is the right place, and nobody has said anything to me.
Again, thank you for your helpfulness.

So you compare PM with the complete same settings that you're have in FX?
Cause PM runs a lot faster for me, than FX.

Maybe your're ESET or one other programm blocks something.
I post what you disable it, to test this. You don't test this
