Many websites are redirected to websites such as surveys.cnet.com and google-analytics. This problem is going to eventually make me quit using Firefox if you don't fix it. Does not occur with Internet Explorer. I have newest verson of Firefox. (3.6.8)

I use Lunascape 6. You can switch back and forth between Gecko (Firefox) Trident (IE) and Webkit. Trident and Webkit are not affected by this malware. I prefer Gecko myself, but until they fix Firefox I simply switch to one of the alternates when I encounter the problem.
