Microsoft Update Quietly Installs Firefox Extension
-
Annoyances.org: this update adds to Firefox one of the most dangerous vulnerabilities present in all versions of Internet Explorer: the ability for Web sites to easily and quietly install software on your PC. The only way to get rid of this thing is to modify the Windows registry, an exercise that can cause Windows systems to fail to boot up. This is a great example of how not to convince people to trust your security updates.
