In the last couple days a window keeps popping up claiming to be McAfee site advisoe and wants me to push a "finish" button that would install what appears to be 2 site advisor ad ons. I don't even use McAfee anymore and thought it was uninstalled. The McAfee name shows up in the bottom icon bar with the firefox globe right after where the thunderbird and firefox icons sit next to the "start" button. I suspected this to be phishing. I did NOT hit the "finish" button and when I click anywhere but in that window it disappears, but then comes back with the popup again at varying intervals. How to stop it?? There's no option in the popup window to deny or disable it. JG
