CSE crashing Topstyle on page validation check...

Post by Lowiepete »

Hi Albert,

As the title implies, this weird occurence has just started happening.
What makes this stranger is that nothing has recently been updated.
I'm using CSEV9.03 Std with TS 4.0.0.81 on Win7/64.

I've just re-tried this to gather error messages and Comodo is now
reporting that TS needs to be isolated because of a detected buffer
overflow attack - now I'm not sure if it's CSE or TS with the problem...

Hi Steve,

It sounds like Comodo may be interfering with CSE HTML Validator and/or TopStyle. I wouldn't be surprised if it were caused by a recent automatic Comodo update. Can you try disabling Comodo and see if it still happens?

Sorry for the delay in replying... Did this and no difference, still closing TS :(
No error messages from Comodo at all - either on or off...

Update:
Placed a check-mark to isolate in Comodo's warning window, then clicked on
[Skip] and everything worked. Selecting [Skip] without the check-box threw
the error... v. strange!

Thanks... I am not familiar with Comodo, but it sounds like it was a problem caused by Comodo? Perhaps it was not letting TopStyle load the CSE HTML Validator DLL properly.
