Firefox skirts Windows security feature to make silent updates happen - Computerworld
I love Firefox and would love to see it be able to keep their users updated with the least amount of fuss, however, I am not sure this is a wise move at all.
I am not at all sure Microsoft should allow this because of the potential for malware purveyors to do the same.
Or am I missing something?
Are there any other programs that can auto update without being trapped by UAC first?
YES! Google Chrome has been doing it since it started.
OK, must be OK if it's worked out well for Google Chrome all this time.
