Known Issues

• Anti-phishing heuristics may slow browsing at some sites. The phishing characteristics detection (heuristics) that ForceField performs at Web sites may slow the speed at which some Web sites load.
• Anti-phishing heuristics may display some false positive findings (please report any false positives)
• Clearing virtual data clears new settings. Setting changes that you make to your web browser occur inside the ForceField virtual file system.
• Game protection software (nProtect) conflict. The ForceField anti-keylogger uses a low-level system technology that may conflict with other low-level technologies, such as software that is often used for protecting computer games from debugging and malicious access to game code.
• Some applications may launch unprotected (no ForceField) browser windows. Some programs, including some instant messengers, may have Web page links that open a browser window without ForceField.
• Files in virtual file system may become corrupted due to some reason and as a result browser may fail to start.
• Internet Explorer 7 Protected Mode. Protected mode is not supported with Windows Vista. ForceField automatically disables Protected Mode
