Is http://online.antivirus-on-line.net/3/?c=947 a firefox site or a malisius one?
Hi I was surfing wen a message came on and told me that my computer was infected and this site http://online.antivirus-on-line.net/3/?c=947 came up saying that it is from mozila protection and that 12 files were infected and that I had to eliminate them. I did run my Zonealarm anti virus that found nothing. I did google that site and I found by norton security that "MSIE Misleading Application Suspicious Notification 2". dose anybody knows if that is a malicious site or what? Stratos
This happened
Just once or twice

This is a MALICIOUS FRAUDULENT DECEITFUL site you want to AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
If it said "mozila" that is not the correct spelling of "Mozilla"
That sounds like one of the pieces of malware circulating tha poses as anti-malware. Sometimes clicking on any button, even the close, will install malware on your computer. Some also try to get you to buy their "product" so that they can get your credit card number.
Here are Google Safe Browsing and McAfee Site Advisor reports on that site: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=online.antivirus-on-line.net/3/?c=947 http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/online.antivirus-on-line.net/3/?c=947
Some of this type of malware will not allow you to access anti-malware sites or allow you to get updates for your installed anti-virus/anti-spyware product. There is a solution in the following article from Malwarebytes forum (see post #2 and post #3): http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=38629&st=0&p=193287&#entry193287
You need to scan for malware Install, update and run these programs in this order. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode", but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. (Not all programs detect the same Malware.)

You ~~red:MAY~~ need to Update Adobe Reader for Firefox (aka Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox): your ver. N/A; current ver. 9.3.3 (important security update release 06-29-2010; see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-15.html) ~~red:Check your version here~~: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Adobe+Reader+plugin+with+Firefox#Installing_and_updating_Adobe_Reader You may be able to update from the Adobe Reader installed on your system instead of going to the Adobe site and downloading. Start > Program Files, find and click Adobe Reader to open, click Help, click Check for Updates. If you go to the Adobe site to download the current Adobe Reader: -use Firefox to download and SAVE to your hard drive (save to Desktop for easy access) ~~red:-See the images at the bottom left of this post to see the steps to take on the Adobe site~~ -exit Firefox (File > Exit) -check to see that Firefox is completely closed (Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window) -double-click on the Adobe Reader installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Reader
- NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
- NOTE for IE: Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version. To install/update the IE ActiveX version, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX installer. See: ActiveX
