Solved Can't watch YouTube videos anymore.

[JustCall]

Hey,

YouTube videos won't load anymore after installing MBAE (Trail) and F-Secure Freedome.
I left both programs on their default settings.
Is it a bug in one of the programs or am I not using it right?

Any help would be appreciated.

Try with Freedome turned off, or try to set a different location(country).

If you use Flash Player for Youtube you can try and disable it in your browser to get the HTML5 media player instead. MBAE protects Flash but that shouldn't be the problem.

I tried that but videos still dont work.
Im pretty sure is MBAE now.

Something else: Other sites with videos on them work fine. It only happens with YT.

You can see if Flash or HTML5 player is default here: https://www.youtube.com/html5
You can also change setting on that page to try the other player.

Unfortunatly, switching to HTML5 doesn't work too.
I've attached an screenshot from the switch page (maybe it helps)

Thanks.

Hi,
Yep not sure why people use beta releases of software like mbae :/
If it's free and does things automaticly without a popup message it will ultimately be more trouble than benefit.

Turning Off something like this or F-secure usually will accomplish nothing they must be uninstalled as cleanly as possible.
Double checking using clean boot.

So, buying the full program would help me out?

Go into MBAE and disable anything connected with your browser of choice -- let's test this

disable anything connected with your browser of choice

Do you mean in the Shields tab?
If you do, I disabled every shield but the Opera one.

Sorry, I'm not too experienced with this program

No I mean don't use beta software security programs

Thanks for the tip, if nothing helps I'll uninstall it.

Hi,
Yep choose
1 good antivirus and 1 good malware protection program
Be it free or real time protection malware protection really is up to your budget
MBAM is all you need with just about any a-v free or paid for,
Cheers.

What's a beta? MBAE? It went final last summer! I installed it long ago on my parents PC and it's never caused any problems. They have F-Secure Internet Security too.

And MBAM+AV is not all you need if you're worried about exploits. Any anti-exploit tool will do much better than most AVs when it comes to exploit protection. Personally I prefer EMET but for the less advanced users MBAE is a good choice.

Decided to remove MBAE, and it works fine now!
Maybe the program didn't like my computer

Thanks guys!

If you decide to try it again, here's some tips:

Your specs says Opera 11 which I guess is an old version and might be the issue

The MBAE developers(and other users) can help you here: Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit | Wilders Security Forums

Yea well if your worried about additional threats on the web... get mbam premium = done,

You can however look into an anti spyware utility just make sure real time protection is not activated if it offers the options.

The best defense sits in front of the keyboard not in a third party utility.
