Hej!
Firefox en säkerhetsrisk!?
FoxTab PDF Converter verkar vara en virtuell skrivare. Har du kollat i Kontrollpanelen, där man hanterar skrivare? Jag kommer inte längre ihåg exakt var man hanterade skrivare i XP.
Tack för svaret Cecilia. Nedanstående artikel fick mig att plocka bort Firefox från PC:n:
..."This update adds to Firefox one of the most dangerous vulnerabilities present in all versions of Internet Explorer: the ability for websites to easily and quietly install software on your PC. Since this design flaw is one of the reasons you may've originally chosen to abandon IE in favor of a safer browser like Firefox, you may wish to remove this extension with all due haste.
Unfortunately, Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has taken steps to make the removal of this extension particularly difficult - open the Add-ons window in Firefox, and you'll notice the Uninstall button next to their extension is grayed out! Their reasoning, according to Microsoft blogger Brad Abrams, is that the extension needed "support at the machine level in order to enable the feature for all users on the machine," which, of course, is precisely the reason this add-on is bad news for all Firefox users"...

Medan jag väntade på ditt svar hittade jag i andra forum svaren till andra personer med sama problem. Bl. annat att installera (och låta) Revo ta bort varje spår av FoxTabPDF Converter. Gjorde så, FoxTabPDFConverter är spårlöst borta och PC:n funkar (än så länge) u. problem.
