Anti malware doctor...how the hell?!!

What the SH*T!!
As I was opening Facebook... no download...no permission ask.... suddenly... SH*T
Scored through...Firefox 3.6.3 and up-to-date AVG? How the hell?!
I have manually removed that SH*T ...it took some time to find all the files and registries...not to mention to search how-to using Google ....
How did it??????
 


Did someone tell you Facebook was a safe site? :non: Manual removal is fine up to a point but you really need to scan with something pretty strong to make sure it's all gone or didn't let something else through the back door it opened.

Download and install MalwareBytes - free but an inexpensive add-on gives you lifetime updates - from http://www.malwarebytes.org. Let it update and restart itself then run the Full Scan. When it finishes, anything that shows up in the Show Results form can safely be deleted but if you have any doubts, restart the computer then go back into MBAM and click on Logs and copy and paste that log back here.

You can embed malware in a JPEG image. It could have come from anywhere on that page really.
