For some reason, my Gnome 3 shell process has forked off an 'acroread' process which I did not start! It appears to be attempting to install itself or do something in the background. This is completely unacceptable, nothing should ever attempt to download and run some unauthenticated script and should never attempt to install anything without my explicit knowledge and permission! I consider this to be a security breach and failure of the Fedora security policies to permit this. In fact there should be a separate SELinux context for this commercial app just so it can't do anything to my system without my knowledge.

And how do I get it back out? (The only reason I even have Adobe reader is because Evince can not fully handle the US IRS tax forms.) -- Deron Meranda http://deron.meranda.us/ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
