Hey guys here's my problem.

A couple of days ago I installed Adobe CS4 master collection (fake one), and I had to install something called LITTLE SNITCH, and a .DMG called BOOTSTRAPPER.

Ever since, everytime I open a software, I get this message saying that the sofytware is attempting to connect to a TCP port 80 and stuff. I get three choices: allow, until quit, never.

I just hit "allow". Today I was fed up and when I opened itunes, I hit "never", and now I cant listen to any radio station. It throws me a connection error.

Whats is all this about?!

Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand exactly why you decided you needed to install it... but your problem is with Little Snitch -- which, by the way, sounds like it's functioning exactly as it was intended. Based upon a cursory glance at the product website, Little Snitch's purpose seems to be to shore up the defense of your personal data by giving you feedback every single time any program on your computer attempts to connect to the internet. There is probably a way to convince the Snitch to be slightly less vocal -- but having never installed or used it myself, I can't say for certain.

Hey,thanks for helping.

I did uninstall Little Snitch, and that display keeps coming up. How can I get rid of it?

Thanks!

For that answer, you're probably going to have to go to the vendor's support people. (Like I said, I've never actually used it before myself.)
