It must been a temporary problem last night.

I just went to the Haute Secure test page on Fx and saw the same notice you did. Maybe it is Proxo. :D

edit: I didn't finish reading the thread before replying. I see that bypassing Proxo produces the same result. Not a very good test.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20612884 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 22:51:00 EDT Re: Opera sings anti-malware tune http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20611201 SUMware :

Perhaps Proxomitron was the 'active ingredient'.

Good point.

Disabling Privoxy and NoScript however, gives the same result.

As does bypassing Proxo (didn't think about trying that before, thanks).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20611201 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 15:13:51 EDT Re: Opera sings anti-malware tune http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20611150 sivran :

I'm skeptical. Haute Secure's test page is... not much of a test.

Agreed.
I'm running Firefox on Linux and saw the above.

Perhaps Proxomitron was the 'active ingredient'.

I immediately turned this off in Fx3. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20610046 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 08:57:59 EDT Re: Opera sings anti-malware tune http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20609705 sivran : I'm skeptical. Haute Secure's test page is... not much of a test. I do not have their software, and the page tells me "O HAI WE BLOKED IT KTHXBYE!" anyway.
