It's generally a Windows problem where some software will be falsely detected as a virus, or some protective software will prevent the installation of new software as a general precaution. I've always read such warnings as, first just try installing. And if the installation fails, you may have to make allowances for the install to proceed. It's similar to the "turn off your firewall" dumb instruction, rather than "reconfigure your firewall." > So i installed Gnash. "Solved"... Until you come across some site that will only work with the Adobe flash software... Annoying, I know. But if you come across a Flash site that doesn't work, that's one thing you're going to have to investigate. > > 3 - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12714/ force-tls > Does this plugin work?

I hope you're aware that you can only try to use SSL (HTTPS) where it's available. Not all services/sites are available over both HTTP and HTTPS. And as you move through a site, they may bounce you from one protocol to the other. Trying to force something the site didn't intend could cause you problems. It certainly causes more work for both sides of the communication. > > 5 - I read about SELinux.

Though best answer might be do not turn off just for the sake of "can't be bothered to configure it, or can't be stuffed debugging problems." Turning it off, or putting it into "permissive" (stop nothing, merely log problems), is never *solving* a SELinux problem. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
