Mozilla issues security warning for 2 Firefox add-ons
By
If you’re a Firefox user and you downloaded the add-on ‘Sothink Web Video Downloader’ version 4.0 or any version of ‘Master Filer’, you just downloaded the Win32.Bifrose.32.Bifrose Tojan virus. Congratulations!
This little guy doesn’t play well with others, so you’ll want to get rid of it as soon as possible. To do that you need to first uninstall those add-ons immediately. Unfortunately, this will not remove the Trojan from your computer. After you’ve uninstalled the add-ons, download one of these free antivirus tools:
When the download is complete, install the antivirus, update it and run a full scan immediately. Both Avast and AVG are known to detect and remove this specific trojan.
Windows is the only operating system known to be affected. Mac and Linux users can completely ignore this warning… as usual.
