Clicksor infestation in Firefox / Linux
I always thought that Linux was immune to this sort of thing, but I've gotten an infestation of the Clicksor malware. When I bring up a page in Firefox from some websites (not this one, fortunately), it highlights words that it recognizes and then trots out a popup referencing that word and leading to a junk website. I've also had this problem in Chrome. How can I make that nasty beast go away?

Actually I always put a hosts file on to help block that stuff. Get this and install it.

I usually just block javascript on my browser.
In firefox you can have very fine grained control using something like the noscript extension. |
Thanks jefro - been years since I looked at hosts replacement.
I have been using FF with adblock and noscript, but it's a pig. Just tried that hosts offering on an old office machine. Much better. |
