Are you trolling or just nagging? Malware gets installed on Windows all the time. Malware can't get installed on *nix without proper permissions. That's what I'm saying.

And only if you disable UAC on windows. Which I always reply to this FUD with. That's what I am saying. -- My place : »www.schettino.us
Hmmm... I read the reddit-link provided an noticed the user claims to have NoScript but was still clickjacked?
Hi there, I posted that reddit thread. To clarify, I didn't have NoScript installed at the time the malicious extension somehow got installed. I installed it afterwards and the redirects did indeed occur even with NoScript active, since it wasn't a script on a page causing the problem but part of an extension, and NoScript won't block an extension.
Thanks for the follow up it does clear up a few things. I don't think it was a clickjack I think someone mistakenly installed it on the OPs machine? I can't understand how the incoming events would get past Avast but it blocks the outgoing events? -- Stop The Mindless Killings Stop Over Fishing
