2 Problems - eye need help

[Magnum]

As I am typing this, I am learning patience.
A box keeps popping up saying:

Warning The authenticity of the content cannot be verified....

Unable to create certificate chain from the signing certificate to a root.

Do you want to install and run Adobe Flash Player Installer signed on....

I can't find any way of getting rid of the *&&& thing.

Problemo # 2

I have an app which I have to use.
When I have Firefox running, the app reduces the Firefox window and inserts itself on the top.

What kind of code would I need to look for that causes that?

Thanks.

The app that reduces Firefox needs an invoke ShowWindow, handle, SW_xx to do so. You could try a binary search inside that app, and replace SW_xx with SW_MAXIMZE. That is, if you have plenty of time and nothing better to do :green

It's probably using FindWindow to find Firefox, it may be easier to disable that so that it doesn't find it.

Don't know about that Flash installer thing, sounds suspicious.

i don't think flash is needed for forum pages   :P
best to go to the adobe site and d/l the latest adobe flash
there are 2 versions - one for IE (activex) and one for firefox (plugin)

You may be right.
The app file date is always changing, so I think it writes to itself.

That sounds like a virus or malware (or a really early win95 program that stored its data in the data section).

there is something wrong there Adobe flash installs are fast and trouble free. Look for something that should not be there. The TDSS rootkit I cleaned out last night did strange things with sites that used Flash so you may just be lucky. I used an Acronis image to fix the problem after I got tired of playing with it.
