[Evolution] OT: Firefox



Hi all
just a warning to any firefox users here.
If when browsing you get what looks to be a genuine blue screen splash
saying an Firefox update is available, you will find that you cant kill
by normal means.
DONT click on anything, just open a terminal and kill firefox from
there.
Its phising s/w that corrupts the user profile and redirects banking
apps to sites that look just like the banks you use , in order to get
your user ID and password.
Someone has gone to a lot of trouble with this one ,  So keep an eye on
the bottom LH of the browser to make sure you are connected to the site
you think you are.

Sorry its off topic, but it might just stop someone losing money .
and its wasn't an adult site I was looking at :), I was searching for
reflection loss bridges.
