Mozilla Spyware (yes... I said Mozilla)
I saw this on another forum and felt that some users here may want a heads up. Needless to say I was a tad shocked.

Today I went to animewallpapers.com and got this popup which tried to install what has to be the first web page hijacker made for mozilla based browsers. I do not know if this is the first ever spyware for mozilla browers but it is the first time I have have seen any. It is also a virus.
You can see the whole thread at the Mozilla Forums
Granted this seems to be a Windows-based Mozilla issue right now but I wonder how long before it becomes a Linux issue as well. I suspect many users who have Mozilla (and similar family of browsers), stick their tongues out at IE users and look down on them, feeling very smug, may get caught unawares and become infected.
