one of the old jetico v1 annoyances was popping up to ask permission whenever
firefox or tbird updated (nightlies).
looking to try firewalls, i reread this trick to update hash in rule from
httpd.confused at
fileforum:
"You reconfigure it. All of it. For every changed application this applies to.
Every time
it changes. (Or, you can use the unintuitive trick where you edit an existing
rule, put
the cursor on the line that lists the path to the (old) EXE file, and then click
OK. This
forces the hash to be updated. Yes, you really do need to put the cursor in the
path
text box. And you'll then have to delete the new rule(s).)"
http://www.google.com/search?q=jetico+hash+path+beta+%7C+nightly+%
7C+nightlies+rule+%7C+rules+%7C+edit
(First google result is this fileforum post
fileforum.betanews.com/review/1077527060/1/view)
so, i wondered what would happen if the file no longer existed (at that path?)
i deleted firefox.exe, and uninstall\helper.exe
then i did the httpd.confused dehash workaround. the hash disappeared from the
rule.
i then undid those 2 deletions (via Edit menu of explorer) and did a firefox
nightlies
update, and firefox restarted without any popup from jetico. (eg, annoyance gone)
(updates\updater.exe gets wiped out by firefox's update process, so the dehash
workround makes updater.exe's rule hashless, without need to temporarily delete
updater.exe.)
i suppose no hash check may be less secure, but...
____________
this could also be useful for belarc advisor updates, etc.
____________
a small speedup tip when opening rule to edit: double clicking on the path or
port
opens the rule edit dialog with whichever you clicked ready to edit. so for
above
dehash workaround, double click the *path* of rule to be dehashed, click once in
the
path, then click OK until rule closes.
(though i think the hash disappears *before* you close the rules edit dialog).

except that Ask User branch is open.

except that this person double clicked the Verdict column, so Verdict is active
for
editing

No, wasn't. Just disable those useless popups.

No, doesn't. Any application is free to circumvent or actively answer those
useless popups, thus it was never secure in any way.

Hm... and win98 is a low security joke that only fools would run (yes, this
proves that there's millions of fools out there)
Beside that, where's your fup2?
