    1. No java installed for 3 years now

    2. 1806 trick
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3]
    "1806"=dword:00000003

    3 = deny, 1 = warn (default)

    I'm now using DefenseWall Firewall. Just a question. How do I update apps? I mean if I want to update Firefox or its extensions do I make Firefox trusted, then update and again make it untrusted?

    Do I need to disable HIPS and FW to update apps? Could I trust an app, update the app and then untrust that app again?
