After installing this image editing software (Photoscape
http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/index.php ), CFP notified me that Photoscape wanted to add a global switch hook to Firefox. Being unfamiliar with Photoscape and not knowing what a global switch hook was, I denied it. As far as I can tell the program was not compromised.
So, is a global switch hook: Recommended? Safe? Required?
PS A site-search produced a few hits, but nothing useful.
