Firefox 4 compatibility

The current version of Identity Cloaker 1 is currently not working properly with Firefox 4 due to significant changes in the Firefox 4 code. The programmer knows about this problem already and is working on a new, Firefox 4 compatible, addon.

We expect it to be available sometime during this weekend. An email will be sent to all customers once it is available and this blog post will also be updated.

Thank you for your understanding!

    I installed Firefox 4 a few days ago (I have been a regular Firefox user).
    Two days ago, I had to remove it.
    Whenever I used Firefox, the CPU was continually at 70% to 90%. The Processor column in Task manager showed Firefox as continually quite high. Worse that that was “vsmon” (in ZoneAlarm).
    I now use Internet explorer which resolves that issue.
    It seems that Firefox and ZoneAlarm are not now compatible !!.

    OK, a new version is now available in the member area for downloading. It’s also available at:

    http://www.identitycloaker.com/download/IDC_Setup.exe

    This version is compatible with Firefox 4 and also the OpenVPN Portable can now install the OpenVPN driver on 64-bit versions of Windows properly.

    This version will not be available via the standard update as it caused some complications in the past and it does not add any new features so it’s not necessary to upgrade for those using Firefox 3.x still or other web browsers only.

    If you find a bug in this version, you can post it in here.

    Also, for those upgrading from Identity Cloaker version 1.1.9 and older, it will be probably necessary to uninstall the older Firefox Extension first.

    These instructions are important only if you are using Firefox:

    1) Run the current/old version of Identity Cloaker

    2) Click “Firefox Extension Uninstallation”

    3) Restart Firefox

    4) Install the new version of Identity Cloaker (you do not have to uninstall the previous one first)

    5) Click “Firefox Extension Installation”

    6) Restart Firefox

    We have been informed by some customers using Norton Antivirus that a virus (Suspicious.Cloud.5D) was found in the installer. This is an obvious false alarm, no other antivirus application has detected anything.

    I will now personally contact Symantec/Norton and will ask them to resolve the issue. Also, please make sure you are using the latest available antivirus definitions.

    If you experienced the “virus problem” mentioned above, please contact me at admin@identitycloaker.com and tell me the antivirus version and virus database date if possible. Norton support responded that they cannot find a virus in the file.

    Update: Norton support replied a few days ago:
