FYI: Firefox has a hole in it which allows a redirectory malware known as Move Networks to place a bogus add-on called XULRunner 1.9.1, people have also reported that the other add-ons you may find (Java console) are also bad news.

There are several threads at support.mozilla.com which explain how to go into your registry and remove it. Taking steps to back things up such as your bookmarks. I did it, but I also messed up a registry eight years ago so I know how dicey it can be to a newbe.

In addition; Adobe reader and perhaps Flash Player can have bogus updates pop up. I did not see a fix for this, so I uninstalled them and did a reinstall just to be safe.

I'm using Google Chrome because Firefox is still vulnerable from what I've read.

Happy surfing.
