Attention to all Firefox users!
A add-on has been pulled as it is malicious.
“According to Mozilla, version 4.0 of Sothink Web Video Downloader was infected with Win32.LdPinch.gen, and all versions of Master Filer with Win32.Bifrose. Master Flier was removed from the repository on January 25 and had 600 downloads up to that date, while Sothink Web Video Downloader version 4.0 had around 4,000 downloads and was removed on February 2.” -Softpedia
Do an add-on check, if Firefox finds it, it will disable it.
After that do a virus scan to remove the trojan.

This is a heads op that I’m definitely passing on by retweeting. I never touch any kind of downloaders because many contain viruses and worse.

It was pulled so it won’t be identified.
