For the last 3 builds of XMM I am getting this error when XMM tries to search for update: " The remote server returned an error:(403) Forbidden. I press ok and then it pops again and again until I close the program. Disabling the antivirus solves the problem temporarily but it's not a solution.I have enabled XMM in the firewall but the problem is originated with Nod32 antivirus. Maybe I could add some exception to it if only I knew what I have to add in exceptions.So far I tried **binaryworks.it** with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
In order to avoid the message when XMM starts I unchecked the "check for updates automatically". As far as I recall I was having an error msg when running liveupdate in the previous build, something about Antivir and Zonealarm. Today though Liveupdate run just fine. I will meddle more with this when there is an actual update and I will report back.
I'm not a ZoneAlarm expert but here's what I think is happening. Everytime a new release of XMM is installed, ZoneAlarm is automatically setting the .exe file(s) to "No Internet Access". You will need to either set ZoneAlarm to prompt you when a new application tries to access the Internet or manually go in and update the exclusion list. The first option is the best because you will have the ability to select which application that you add will have Internet access. So find where you can control individual file access and there is where your solution is.
Nod32 Antivirus and XMM
