I have been using Firefox on my Linux Slack 10.1 system for some months now. All of a sudden a window purporting to be from talkback popped up and I couldn't get rid of it. The usual kill procedures didn't work. The cancel button was grayed out. I went to the firefox directory in /usr/lib and found the subdirectory with talkback and deleted it. Then I went thorugh the pages of the popup unil I found one that allowed me to disable it. I really didn't want to do that becuse it could have been an exploit by a bad guy. I am hoping that my system hasn't been compromised. I repeat, I did nothing to ask for the talkback window. It just appeared. Are there any other security measures I need to take? Are there exploits that masquerade as a talkback window? The whole thing smacks of MS-style big-brotherism. I have Firefox 1.5 John Culleton _______________________________________________ mozilla-general mailing list mozilla-general http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-general
