Hello All,

I checked the forum and did see this problem reported before and tried what was recommended. Move JD from Program Files checked permissions.
Here's my problem:
Whenever I start JD, it will install an update. Sometimes it successful, most times it is not. The Install/Update balloon will pop up and I usually hit Cancel. JD will try to update on its own and sometimes I will allow it, thinking that it might be legit. Most times I have to cancel the update several times before JD opens. It usually hangs at some point and I have to hit the Cancel button. If I understood what the Developer mention in the other post, JD only updates when it needs to.

System specs:
XP SP3
Java 1.7.0_55
Oracle Corporation
SWT v4233, win32
Windows XP v5.1, x86
V5.3.0.0/4 az3

Antivirus software + version.- ESET Smart Security 6.0
Firewall software + version.- ESET Smart Security 6.0

JD:

Copied from About window.
Note: You might want to think about allowing the user to copy info from About window, since this info could be useful in gathering info about JD. I had to manually copy it.

I'll subscribe to this thread to monitor any posts.

Thanks to all.

Seems that ESET blocks JD.

Thanks for your input, Tony. After doing some research, I could not find a connection between my problem and the one you stated.
