Not sure if this is the right place for this but I have just upgraded to firefox 5 and my anti-viral software (Norton 360) picked up on blackhole toolkit activity that was apparently tagged on to the upgrade. This was blocked by Norton but should it be the case that this software is linked to firefox? I have the source ip address if needed.

Many thanks for assist.

Did it say what file it was referring to or where it was located?

did you get Firefox 5.0 from Mozilla.com or was it some random file download site?

Also it could very much likely be a false positive if you did download Firefox 5.0 from Mozilla as otherwise there would have been far more reports here and at mozillazine.
