July 7th, 2009 | by snowman |

I know I didn’t get the article out first thing this morning but I just couldn’t find a quality nugget of information. This is no real big surprise in the scheme of things but is definitely something to take notice of.

It silently without any permission from the user installs the extension for Firefox and leaving you wide open. Full article here

    Ghostshadew has that right. I hope they can get this issue fixed ASAP! Good thing I didn’t upgrade. Holy shit.

    I know I will regret saying this but it Also seems as if yesterday it was a good day for vista which just makes me shudder.
