And don't think you're safe just because you're using
Firefox. Another version af the Nitrous virus works
on Firefox. Get a GOOD firewall/virus scanner(the cheap
ones are no good). You will also need some adware
scanners(like Adaware and Spybot S&D). If they don't
remove it, you may already have Nitrous, the only way
to get rid of it is to reinstall Windows(or even better:
ditch Windows altogether and use Linux, Nitrous 2 runs on
Linux, but causes no damage(except it crashed Mozzila)).
