Endpoint won't update... thinks it's an IPS attack...

[8-)]

So I put Endpoint on my machine I just rebuilt and loaded Windows 8.1 on, and cannot update Endpoint.  I look in my logs, and found this gem:

The UTM thinks it's an IPS attack, and refuses to let the endpoint update.

Any ideas on this one?  [:)]  I just updated to 9.109 before doing this.

  • Thanks Amodin,
    saved my life. Our CEO already wanted to throw the whole appliance out of the window.
    Besides the problem with certificate check not working anymore for many many subdomains and of popular websites this was a bit too much trouble this week... [:(]
