Error when downloading MAC-address or NIC database 02 September 2018, 12:26

I have selected the Lookup Network Card Vendor option in the software. When I try to do a scan I get the notice telling me that the software is going to download the MAC address database. Then I get a error that says "Security Problem Occurred". And the scan is canceled.

If I deselect the Network Card Vendor option, scans work as expected. What ca I do to fox this this error message?

It appears to be caused by an Internet Explorer configuration issue, as the Network Scanner uses its API to download files. As a workaround you can easily download the file manually.

Then, if you are using the installed version, place the downloaded OUI.TXT to:

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\SoftPerfect Network Scanner\

If you are using the portable version, place OUI.TXT into the folder with the application.
