the ad-on download from www.fileresearchcenter.com could not be installed because it appears to be corrupt. How do i fix this?
I went to load an add-on from www.fileresearch.com and Firefox would not allow it This add-on allows me to see what is running in the background on my pc. This is a part of Superantispyware. Please help me correct this problem. Thank You

post was found in Tech support guy forums i have tested and verified with the same results using another computer with Firefox 2 as well on a pretty old internet explorer version. the plugin maybe partly abandon-ware, and it isnt really that useful as most things found running windows 7 ult were detected as unknown as well as a lot of new media items and widgets are also found to be unknown. I do hope this helps resolve the majority of the issues reported.
IF USING A BROWSER LIKE FIREFOX 2 or below and still having issues please go to: Help/troubleshooting information/"Header" Application basics and then open the containing folder for profile, then delete extensions.cache, extensions.ini and extensions.rdf
This has also been duplicated and tested and it does seem to clear up some basic issues with the plugin hanging or disappearing, but I have not been able to duplicate Corrupted issues in any older browsers only firefox 3+
i personally believe it is caused from hardware accelerator and the plugin not being updated to support it thus (abandon ware)
