I have a comment about Remove
the Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant (ClickOnce) Firefox Extension:
I just installed Firefox 3.5 on both my desktop and laptop. Fortunately I also ran
across your article at the same time. Thank you. I followed the instructions exactly
for both machines and the instructions worked!
As you had indicated, I was one of many who had dumbly downloaded it months before
without having the faintest clue it was malware.
Almost instantly . . . The Evil Empire Struck Back.
Within seconds of completing the deletion on both machines, Micro$oft flashed
its daintly little yellow shield in my tray indicating updates were read for my machine.
And the update Micro$oft wanted me to install ? . . . you guessed it . . . the
very same Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant Firefox Extension which I had just deleted
seconds earlier. Not only is MS installing malware, if you delete it, they want you
to immediately reinstall it. For the record, I wasn't a sucker this second time.
I didn't download it.
Believe me, people need to be warned just how much Micro$oft wants to destroy
Firefox. Publicize all over the internet this back door malware MS is trying to ram
into everyone's machine.
