VIRUS ALERT: September 2, 2010
I just had an attempted attack online. A new tab opened in Mozilla FireFox that had a red shield with these words: WARNING: Errors were detected in your computer's registry.* The asterisk below all the bold type was tiny words that said this was a commercial advertisement!! SNEAKY!!
AND you canNOT close a tab in your browser with the task manager - you have to close the browser and restart it.
Also, I had an unrequested tab pop up for "moms working at home" - it happened twice today AFTER installing the newest version of FireFox. I have NEVER had weirdy stuff like this happen in FireFox. I've run all my tools on it and there were 27 malicious doo-hickies in my registry! WOW - but no viruses were found. Man, we gotta stay on our toes!
