Public bug reported: #1 Why do I need to type in my administration password to start Fire starter firewall? #2 Why can't I update my Clam antivirus program without getting the message, "You must be root to access" Are these programes trying to prtect me from me? I installed a firewall and antivirus for a reason. And the reason is not counter-productive.
