Access Warning Popup on Browser Startup

[zenful6219]

I am using version 2.09. The ini file was converted from a 2.07 version. The older version browser/ini combo worked fine when we started the browser. But, when we start the 2.09 browser with the converted PWB.ini file, a "Warning: Denied" window pops up with a 14-second countdown telling us the site is unavailable. The message is from our Access.txt file. When the popup is closed, the browser opens, but to a blank page. We hit the home button and the browser display the homepage configured in the ini file. What could be causing this strange popup before the browser opens?

What is the URL of your home page, and what is listed in your URL filte file?

You could also set the following to disable PWB from checking the initial URL.

CheckInitialURL=False

I'm having the same issue. I upgraded from 2.05.

Occasionally when a user clicks on the mail icon in their yahoo mail account, the computer will display the Access.txt warning dialog, even though I do not have URL restrictions set in the URL.TXT. I do, however, hafe restrictions in place that prevent access to network drives.

Here's the text from the URL file:


+all
+java
+javascript
+vbscript
+http:
+https:
+mms:
+telnet
+vb
+shockwave
+flash
+*

The URL filter changed from PWB v2.05 to PWB v2.09. The newer versions use regular expressions to compare the strings. In regular expressions the backslah character has special meaning and you have several in your URL filter file.

Also the "+" sites are not needed when you have "+all" enabled, since the "+all" allows all URLs.

Please see the following for an explanation of the PWB filters.
