..and do not ask what program, there is absolutely ZERO clue.

Always conditions: Win7.1, using FireFox. Launch SeaMonkey. Up pops UAC.

Bet your sweet bit bucket. I. Bail. Out. Yesterday.

Am i attracting M$ garbage?

Thanks.

Seamonkey has adopted the updater of Firefox.

This means perpetually checking for updates.
Go to the About: window and it might show the
same sort of nonsense that Firefox shows.

OK, when the updater downloads a file, what happens next ?

Why, when you start Seamonkey, up pops a UAC which belongs
to Seamonkey (it belongs to "updater.exe" which is apparently
part of Seamonkey stuff). Only you don't know that, until I tell you
that's what it belongs with. If you "OK" that UAC, then
Seamonkey is able to finish installing the upgrade.

These are probably bug fixes, going from 2.53.1 to 2.53.2
sort of thing. They're not changing the release, so the
design is mostly the same, just some little bug fix.

If you keep saying "No!" to the UAC, then the upgrade
cannot come in. But sooner or later, you will click
the wrong button or be in a hurry, and it will win.

Urg.

Am going to get nasty.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, Homebrew computer club daze to be
more specific, there as a rather intelligent person (Tom Pittman) who
wrote an error-free and bug-free Basic interpreter for the RCA COSMAC micro.
Yes, i know, the Basic interpreter that came with the COSMAC had
(shall we be polite) had problems.
It is my understanding that Tom Pittman alerted appropriate people at
RCA, and was ignored.

So, it is not enough to be able to write bug and error free programs
as well as able to mathematically prove that.

Poly-ticks byte.

Unless the automatic update check and update, can be disabled. That would be
a candidate for a security hole.
