I use firefox as default , as does my wife on here laptop and still get hit by the
trojan the poster has ,and we get them on legit websites and youtube videos , because
of link hijacking .
my advice is when you get the first popup don't hit any of the options like X, or
yes & no or cancel as they all are programed to mean yes!
do the following ,, ALT+ctrl+del , then go to applications and end task ,shutting
down the browser ! then run ccleaner and clean all temp files and cookie ! and do
the registry cleaner as well . get and install CCleaner now !so you are ready for
the next hit! www.ccleaner.com
