GSA SER not recogizing my captcha services anymore

edited August 10 in Bugs
Hi, GSA SER doesn't recognize my two captcha services--Xevil and 2Captcha--anymore.  It recognized both just yesterday.  I'm running it on a VPS, and I've made some changes to it.  I don't know whether these caused the problem or not.  The changes are:

1)  Added Malwarebytes to the VPS since Windows Security always blocked XEvil from running, even when I added it to Exclusions. I got it to work by turning off Real Time Protection on Windows Security while adding Malwarebytes for my real-time needs.  But even with MalwareBytes, even when I turn it off completely, the same problem shows up (please see screenshot).

2) I upgraded my VPS's computing and memory specs.

3) I upgraded GSA SER to the newest version (18.50).  

What could be causing this problem?  Any help would be sincerely appreciated!

    You better get rid of Malwarebytes as it is a bad product in my eyes. It caused so many issues in the past and I assume it's no different today. Even if you add exceptions, it can still block ports.
    The anti virus that comes with windows is enough. Also remember that your PC can not be infected by SER as it does not execute javascript.
  • Thanks for the advice.  I don't know what happened.  I just reset my entire VPS and it works now.  Quick question, though:

    "Also remember that your PC can not be infected by SER as it does not execute javascript."

    Are you saying it's impossible for my VPS to get infected while using GSA?  The reason I ask is I want to use XEvil and the only way I can do this is to turn off Real Time Protection on Windows Security (this was why I used MalwareBytes since its real-time protection doesn't block XEvil).  

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!!!  You have an amazing software!

    I can't speak for other apps than the GSA ones, but yes...you are safe with ours at least and since Xevil is only solving captchas, I guess it's also safe.
