Re: Worried about Firefox trojan

Whether or not you have some malware or technical issue, I can't say. But I hope you realize that any firewall worth it's salt notices when ANY program that connects to the Internet has been altered, e.g., updated. It will ask for permission to access, at which time you need to allow or deny. Possibly you have not granted that permission, yet the firewall allows a half-assed connection anyway? Have you recently scanned your system for malware?

Your modern ways frighten and confuse me.
