[arch-general] firefox extension (add on) 'Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant' is insecure

I have wondered why that extension was in my browser, I think the problem began because I copied a profile from the system microsoft windows xp that I use occasionally. If it is an extension to your browser, whatever system, you are advised to disable it. there is some links to reports new. I assume there is truth, http://www.i4u.com/article27674.html http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=5CF0A4A7-1A64-67EA-E45F5A54F2136086 I found the report recently, is it fixed yet? I though best to forward the report immediately. andrew
