Well, I was downloading something from megaupload a while ago, and this ad popped up. It said that it was a site that let you stream free HD movies if you download their streamer. Now of course I wasn't gonna download their streamer. But it had a video looking thing underneath the ad. So I thought I would try it. Anyways somehow my FF 3.5 got exploited. Java ran, then something about a PDF file came up. Then I closed firefox and I looked in my task manager, a weird executable had come up. Then my computer restarted. And I had SpyAxe installed somehow. It changed all links on pages to refer to something else.

I used Smitrem to remove it: http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/click counter/click.php?id=1

Hmm...
Is there any Adobe Reader alternative then?
