   This program automatically installed without a prompt when I visited some website. I tried to track what website it was, but could not determine. There was no warning, no popup window. About a dozen or so AV alerts appeared in a row, with trojans, downloaders, hijackers etc one by one.

   I am resetting to my system backup of 2 months ago. Too many red flags on this one!

   FIREFOX needs to be fixed, there is clearly a backdoor allowing this program to install simply by visiting a website. Sounds like the old IE problems.
