If you're using a search engine today to find a download of Firefox 7, be careful about the results you click on. That's because a dubious website called Firefox7.org appears high up in those results.

that site is 2nd in google for me :eek: scary stuff it has got that high up so quick, luckily the official site is first and I only ever download software from the official site, which I can tell apart from a dodgy one, and I also used the update feature in FF to get the update so I'm safe :cool:
interestingly that exact PCworld article is the proper top result and gives a snippit of the article, if they were being useful they could have put the offending site in the first line of the story to help the consumer but no they are being unhelpful and just looking for clicks.0 -
