Well I just came online to get some resources for some revision for my psychology exam next thursday and logged on to firefox - my one and only browser buddy

I thought to myself that I wanted a quick change in its theme so I visited the link listed in the tools > options > themes section in the actual program. I saw a theme I liked and downloaded it. With firefox themes/extensions they download and install automatically so it installed itself and said it had been ok. Then 5 seconds later AVG popped up saying that 2 files had been infected. One which I can't remember now, but the other was xpinstall.exe which is a file assosciated with firefox. Seems as if this site is distributing trojans along with their skins nowadays.

I'm really annoyed with this but it doesn't seem to have done any harm. I've filed a complaint to mozilla.org nevertheless, and we shall see what they have to say about it.

Regards,
- Dean
