LeetPirate Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 As the name of the topic says. I was using Firefox as usual, then I see this message pops up.Naturally I could not help but laugh at what I saw, a Microsoft add-on for firefox causing stability issues.:lol:Anyone else ever got this message?

Administrator DKT27 Posted October 17, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 17, 2009 Same here. I don't have any .Net framework plugin in my FF.Even after that, I got this - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Owl Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.1 was not blocked for me. I'll be watching my Firefox 3.5.3 to see if anything happens though.I even did a manual "Check for Updates" and still it wasn't blocked.More information is available at the Mozilla Security Blog, at Computerworld Security, and Hackademix.net.EDIT: Bizarre broke my links.

RadioActive Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Just for the calrifcation, you're talking about ".NET Framework Assistant" *not* ".NET Framework", big difference. The first is just an addon while the later is the framework itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 17, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 17, 2009 I don't see any .NET Framework addon installed on my FF, still I got this message(just once). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-con Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Ahaha. I got the same thing as DKT27.Both the microsoft presentation and .NET framework assistant were disabled. Hope they fix it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted October 17, 2009 Administrator Share Posted October 17, 2009 Well as we can see why it's disabled -Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant and Windows Presentation Foundation, all versions, for all applications. Reason: remote code execution vulnerabilityThis is expected, it's a MS product that is creating the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 EDIT: Recant.. just got the notification which what I was waiting for.. and it seems that both were there and blocked.. The Presentation Plugin was actually apart of .Net 4.0.. and They are both ..For those of you who had no option to uninstall it..or any options at all.. You should open IE8.. and go to Microsoft Update.. Then choose Custom Updates and download anything related to .Net installations as you are behind in a few upgrades/updates.. which will allow you to properly uninstall the add-on..You can also follow the path to the plugin and either package it as a RAR or zip and delete/shred.EDIT2: Uhm now I have one for 3.5 for the WPF plugin..hope this keep going all the way back to 1.1..
