[TriLUG] Virus

[William Sutton via TriLUG]

If running Windows, you should be able to use the task manager to find the 
browser and kill its process.

If running Linux, you should be able to open a terminal, "ps -efwww |grep 
-i fire |grep -v grep |awk '{print $1}'" and kill the resultant PID.  May 
have to kill -9 the PID.

That saves rebooting.

Of course I knew it was a scam but I had to reboot to close out Mozilla. I scanned my system last night but I'm worried this might happen again....I'd hate to be showing someone at work something on the Web here at work and have this darn thing appear again. Where is this thing lurking on my system?
