Quite specifically, Firefox is requesting and outbound DTS connection. I don't need to allow this connection for Firefox to function normally as far as I can tell. Why is this happening. I have a fully updated Windows 7 64bit OS without java installed and the only plugin I use is flash. I have the most barebones clean system you can imagine with the few apps I have installed blocked from internet access inbound and outbound. I think you get the picture. Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
