needarealname Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hello, it's been awhile since I ran the overdrive tests. However, today with Edge, Firefox, and Opera the page was blocked and came up as malicious. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needarealname Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Internet explorer just gives the message that the site can't be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caintry_boy Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I've been getting the same message in Firefox when I go to the main site, BUT the test has to be run in IE 32 bit. Try it in IE with this link > http://www.pcpitstop.com/betapit/browse.asp Let us know how you get on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needarealname Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 IE isn't running in 32bit. I get a "Can't reach this page message." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needarealname Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 IE is running painfully slow. It takes forever for any web page to come up. I'm not sure what's causing that. Edge, FF, Opera all can load a web page quickly so it's not a connection issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caintry_boy Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Partly why I don't ever want to run Win 10 Tx, but it looks like I'll have to learn, PCI-E slot 1 has failed on my main rig and getting a new mobo, cpu and RAM. needarealname, I'm going to leave this for IntelGuy or Y kawika to give instructions, they both know the ins/outs of the test and they both know Win 10. p.s. Tx Redneck, I can't figure why you're getting that message if you're using IE 32 bit to try and run the test unless you're not using "Run as Administrator....

I was showing the page loads fine and I'm able to access the test as expected. All I did was click the search bar by Start, type internet, right clicked IE, Run As Admin, profit.

geewhiz Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) It' been a while now since I was last able to run a test, Here is the popup I get I tried putting the URL into Avast's exclusions list (my only entry) but hasn't helped.

caintry_boy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Working fine here in Win 7 IE 32bit > http://www.pcpitstop.com/betapit/sec.asp?conid=25915320 I just clicked the IE icon by the start button, (www.pcpitstop.com is the home page) selected Free Scans/Overdrive, logged in and ran the test. This is what I use to stream internet video all day everyday. Nothing fancy but it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geewhiz Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 It's Avast that has it blocked (per the screen print), not Windows or IE. I have reported the URL to Avast as safe a few times but they haven't updated it yet. To clarify, I can run the test if I disable my antivirus. I just have to remember to turn it back on when I'm done. I don't know that others would know to do this or how comfortable they would be to do this.

caintry_boy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I should've also mentioned that if I go to the main site in Firefox (not to run the test but to view results) that Firefox throws a page stating it's a Malicious Site! I can click "Get me outta here" or in fine print toward the bottom "Ignore this warning". When I click Ignore I get a new tab that enables me to report www.pcpitstop.com as a Safe site which I always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inprofile Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 It's Avast that has it blocked Thanks for that geewhiz. I was able to access and run Overdrive. Running IE and no AV.....................now that's scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
