Thanks, but that wasn't it. Nothing was detected.

But, I didn't have hopes of it working. I am very careful about what gets installed and any time the box pops up asking for permission to install something, that is always a red flag.

But, the clincher that I didn't think of at the time, is that I also have an up to date Debian box, with a minimum load of software that I only use for programming. Cranking up Lynx - the old text only browser - I still get repointed to the Chinese site.

The idea that someone spent the time writing a crack for an ancient text browser that 99.99 percent of the world doesn't even know exists is pretty unbelievable.
