Technote Warning: Firefox Vietnamese Language Add-On Has Virus

Wednesday, May 07, 2008

Just a note for any Firefox users who have added in the Vietnamese Language Pack Add-On, that according to a Wired article released at 8:00 PM on May 7th that the add-on has a known trojan horse attached to help files which could end up running malicious code (the actual name is called the Xorer Trojan).

So if you've installed the add-on it would probably wise to un-install it.
