I went to a site that apparantly sent me a file and I didn´t approve it but my Virus Scanner coucht the virus whitch Mozilla Firefox started downloading before I approved. Hope you understand my bad English. I consider this as a major security clitch becouse a virus got into my temp folder. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: My virus scanner cought the virus. Expected Results: Waited until I accepted the Download.
