[9.103] IPS blocks again Websites!

Hello BB,

Since version 9.103 IPS blocks again many Websites! 
For example:mcseboard.de; golem.de..

This pages cant be displayed... It will load and load and load.... Until i click the cancel button in my browser!

In the IPS Log i always found this error:

INDICATOR-OBFUSCATION Javascript indexOf rename attempt


What is this? I don't want exclude everything from IPS... [8-)]

Any ideas?

    The SID in the log is "26616"
  • it sounds like you may have an infection on your network IMO.

  • frankly the first reaction to disable whatever is causing issues without troubleshooting has become a disturbing trend..not just here but around the industry IMO.
