Trojans in Mozilla Firefox add ons

Mozilla has recently admitted that two experimental add ons for its Firefox browser was infected with Trojans affecting Windows users. It is estimated that around 5000 users may be affected by the Trojans which were found in Version 4.0 of Sothink Web Video Downloader and all versions of Master Filer. The add ons in question have now been taken offline. Mozilla has advised infected users to eradicate the Trojans with anti-virus software as uninstalling the add ons will not remove the problem. Mac and Linux users have not been affected.
