Remote Desktop backdoor

Post by jeffshead »

I am really concerned about the behavior exhibited when I use SRWare Iron. I have a fresh Windows 7 x64 install with antivirus installed. Sometimes when I use Iron, my color scheme changes to basic as though a remote desktop session has been activated. As soon as I close Iron, the color scheme goes back to normal.This does not happen every time I use Iron and it does not happen at the moment when I open Iron. I cannot manually re-create the issue.

This has me worried that there is a backdoor.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? What else could be causing this? It only happens when using iron.

I have the following plug-ins:
- Adobe Acrobat
- Clear Cache
- New Tab Redirect

Iron uses GPU rendering to accelerate the web experience. If there is a problem with your graphics card driver, windows switches to the basic color scheme to avoid a crash. This has nothing to do with a backdoor, that does not exist.

1) Do you have updated your graphic cards driver to the latest version?
2) Go to Settings, find System and disable "Use hardware acceleration": http://s1.bild.me/bilder/240416/6294245x.jpg
3) Disable WegGL: http://techdows.com/2011/05/how-to-disa ... hrome.html

WOW! That was fast.

I do have the latest graphics driver installed. I will try disabling WebGL and report back.

Thank you!
