You posted using an old Firefox/3.6b2 from 2009 (Gecko/20091108).

You should install the latest Firefox 3.6.12 version to get the latest security patches.


Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
