The issue normally occurs due to a third-party application or process trying to communicate with a web server. The TMPROXY service, however, catches this HTTP request and is unable to pass this information onto the web server.
To resolve the issue, choose your product version below and follow the steps:
- Stop the TMProxy service.
- Open the Registry Editor.
Always back up the whole registry before making any modifications. Incorrect changes to the registry can cause serious system problems.
- Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TrendMicro\NSC\TmProxy\WhiteList].
For newer operating systems like Windows 8, 8.1, 2012 & newer, set the exclusions in the following registry key:
