   Thanks for the INFO Tom, I will start Foxit PDF Reader and put an X i   
   the Box telling Fort Knox firewall to Remember my selection and then   
   click the Deny Button.   
      
   Appreciate the help, because I didn't want to permanently Deny that   
   request asking to Securely connect to amazonaws.com when later I may   
   have wanted to look around some of Amazon's pages.   
      
   While writing this reply I decided to download a new copy of the   
   7.0.3.916 Foxit PDF Reader and install it again.   
      
   The funny thing is I never install anything until I scanned it with   
   Avast, SuperAntispyware and MalwareBytes and all of them say there's   
   nothing bad found in the file.   
      
   If I didn't have my computer fix I'd go crazy! (-ier!).
