Hi!

Take a look at this picture:
http://i40.tinypic.com/vxz1u8.jpg

I found this:
http://support.emsisoft.com/topic/544-not-sure-where-this-belongs/

Can somebody explain to me? It's normal or I need to get used with this?

Have a nice day!

It looks safe to me, I guess Firefox is not white-listed by Emsisoft? If you open another 3rd party browser like Google Chrome, do you receive the same alert? Looking at your screenshot, a majority of people allow the process while only a small percentage are uncertain on whether to trust the file. If I were still concerned, I would upload the executable in question to Virus Total and see what the other twenty-some scanners have to say.
 
Hi!

I activate Paranoid Mode, with Google Chrome I don't have this problem. I have the same problem with Dropbox.

I upload on VT(firefox.exe): 0/47.

Thanks.

Have a nice day!
 
Proactive security such as a Behaviour Blocker or HIPS can't determine Safe or Dangerous actions, hence the Warnings for all the applications that are operating.

I suggest using the recommended settings, as Littlebits mentions.
 
Hi!

Thanks!

Please close this topic. Problem solved.

Have a nice day!
 
The paranoid mode setting tooltip shows; "Displays additional activities on the system that are suspicious, but not always malicious."

Some more information about the reason for that particular popup was given by Fabian here: http://support.emsisoft.com/topic/11697-emsisoft-anti-malware-alerts/
