don't be so sure.

in Firefox 3 I was visiting a site for Eagle Transporters when I got a message about a bad Runtime install as a popup came up.

then suddenly I can't get to pages like Google - in firefox...

did´nt think anything of that... (thought it was my ISP) until I started IE to run windows update...

suddenly I´ve got popup ad´s etc.

seems that popup that failed in firefox did manage to install ´virtuamonde' onto my system.

getting rid of it now...

(yes before anyone starts telling me otherwise.. I only run IE for windows update and nothing else. the infection came through Firefox 3. I am not drinking or hallucnating or trolling. I am currently running Spybot and have removal tools for this at hand. I did not imagine this. )
