It tried to hijack me today. sm
I clicked on a link while doing some research and a little box came up that said it was scanning my computer. click OK. well, that was my only choice so I had to. Then another box came up that said i needed to download the antivirus 2009 software to fix the problem it found. click OK to download or cancel to let it finish doing the scan. Only choices. Every time I clicked cancel, another popup came up that said the scan found problems. endless loop. So they are basically trying to trick you into downloading it or wearing you down and getting you to download it out of sheer exhaustion. I could not click on anything else either -- other tabs in teh browser or closing the browser were blocked out.
I ended up going to Task Manager (Vista) and closing out Firefox altogether and starting over.
Phew! No infection!
