Got a good mystery going.

I just switched from Kerio to Tiny Personal Firewall (TPF) a few days ago.

I started getting a TPF popup I've not seen before. What it said was words
to the effect: "TPF could not open msgdigestcomputeMD5. I could get rid of
of it temporarily, but it inevitably came back. Very distracting. I
realized it is TPF telling me it's disturbed about some element of the
msgdigestcomputeMD5 file.

Ran a search for msgdigestcomputeMD5. Nothing. Ran a search for MD5 and
found it in my recycle bin.

I found an MD5.txt, and a MD5.class. I restored the MD5.txt and opened it.
It reads:

"A portion of this software is derived from RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5
Message-Digest Algorithm."

I find I cannot delete MD5.txt in the recycle bin.

The MD5.class file is stored in a folder identified as
"sun/security/provider". No path, no other location identity. I cannot
locate such a folder.

OK. Bottom line:

1. I THINK the file (msgdigestcomputeMD5) TPF can't open is the MD5 files I
found.

2. Not sure why I can't delet the MD5.txt file in recycle bin.

3. Should/can/how do I delete the MD5.class file?

4. Why is TPF focusing on this msgdigestcomputeMD5 file?

5. Will getting rid of the MD5 files likely make TPF happy again (I've had
it disabled to work through this problem)?
 
If you type msdigestcomputeMD5 in Google search,it takes
you to a oriental site that looks X-rated.That could be
your problem.Try running Spybot or Ad-aware to remove
said item....Happy Holidays.
