I just started receiving hundreds of calls re: cannot surf the Internet, needed applications hanging, etc. After jumping through hoops, dodging bullets for the past couple hours, it seems the latest signature update introduced a false positive on ' Freegate' Searching' , and it' s blocking a bunch of stuff. Google, Yahoo, banking sites... You name it. Once I set that to Monitor instead of block, everything works. BE AWARE.

Same symptoms here. First occurrence of ' Freegate.Searching' application control appeared at 13:10, which coincides with the following update at 13:09: Fortigate push update virdb(21.00305) etdb(21.00305) idsdb(4.00424)idsetdb(0.00000) from 61.204.170.252:443
