NSIS Media Popups in Firefox

My daugthers PC has picked up a trojan ( NSIS Media ) which seems to have come from the online flash game sites she plays on. It is unique to Firefox and is very hard to get rid of without a clean install after Firefox is deleted in safe mode. It also avoids spyware scanners, anti-virus scanners etc but a chap has written a bit of code to make removal easy.

You'll know if you've got it if you get popups in Firefox for casino's and the rest but you've got a popup killer working.

It works very well and its worth getting it to do a quick scan just to be sure.

Its worth adding that NSIS is used by many companies and is legitimate, this trojan is called NSIS Media.
