Checksum Error on Internet Explorer

RalphMalph

Running Windows 8 and every time a browser updates itself I have to manually update the checksums.  This time I rebooted and I suppose Internet Explorer had updated and now the firewall says the checksum does not agree.  But even when I go into the checksum list and replace the app, the checksum does not work.  I still get the checksum error.  I have verified that I am updating the checksum from the app I am running.  I can't figure out what is going on that the checksum when running is not the same as the checksum Sophos gets when it is simply on the hard disk. 

Any idea how to troubleshoot this problem?  It is getting so that I don't want to reboot my machine anymore because every time I do Sophos firewall has a problem granting access to valid apps.

    Hello RalphMalph,

    can't say what the particular problem with IE 11(?) on Windows 8 is, but generally checksumming vs. automatic updates can be a little bit tricky if Interactive Mode is not available (which isn't on Windows 8).

    If the client is managed (I assume it is) it's easier to deal with this from the SEC and use the Firewall Events viewer to add the checksum to the policy.
