I was browsing using Firefox, on bing, went to Amtrack web site. Pop up came up saying firefox was out of date. When I ran the down loaded file it had too many extra programs. Which I declined on. But it ran for a while. When I restarted firefox, the screen told me I was out of date, which I did. But what did I down load and run just before the real up date?

File name: Firefox_setup.exe Size: 873KB Under file properties Company: SetupManager Name of Signer: Optimum Installer

Very concerned, please advise, and be aware of the hack

I am not a security expert, but until you get a more detailed answer from someone else, please make sure you have a good antivirus program (like Microsoft Security Essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-download) installed.

Out of curiosity, do you know the URL for the Amtrack website you were on?

It looks like you wanted amtrak, not amtrack.

You should never respond to such a pop-up to update a program, but always go to its own website to get the latest updates.
If you respond to such a pop-up on a web page then this may always be an effort to infect you with malware.


Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.

This a earlier upload I did of of same file. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/6b4ad5d27c24539fb5577b38f56b49cdbe1caa247184752193b45a6fa5ecc14a/analysis/1371096292/ Detection ratio: 12 / 47

The tiny file size should have been a big clue in that it was not a full Firefox setup download from Mozilla.org
