[LINK] Microsoft exposes Firefox users to drive-by malware downloads

[Birch, Jim]

When I started FF this morning it told me it had disabled the dotnet
plugin and would wipe it fully next restart.  Not sure what mechanism
did this, but I'm assume there's a bad plugin zapper built in to FF.
Nice. I'm running 3.5.3 on Win7.
