Hello All, this is to inform you that my Firefox got infected with something causing an interference with my bank account. I could logon into the https site of my bank with my banking credentials. Normally I see my account status directly after the logon. In this case onla after a couple of seconds a message is popping up that because of Online Banking Frauds the procedure will change. The only way to proceed is to click on Next. On the next page credentials for a Demo Account are displayed. The only way to proceed is to click on Next again. Then I'm asked to enter a TAN for a Demo Transfer of 9215.54€ . I called my bank and they could verify that I'm still on their https and that if I proceed definitly transfer the above amount to an other bank accout. Bank IT told me that on their site anything is right and it must be an issue on my PC. I tried logons to my bank account with IE and Opera and don't get the fraud pages. With firefox I always are led to the "DEMO Transfer".

Did you expierenced something like that already?

Let's make sure your system is safe.

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed free to use malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
