What are the specifics of the malware Facebook reported in the New York TIMES on August 26, 2013 column of Bits?
Here is a link to the article:
According to this, Firefox can be infected and typical of virus/malware programs are not effective to deal with the problem because blocking them malware.
I was looking for an alert or specific discussion.
Hello, it is probably important to add that this malware is spread using a vulnerability in chrome or firefox but by social engineering and by encouraging users to install malware under a false pretext. that in itself is not something unusual and happens all over the web all the time - the vector of infection seems to be very effective, however, since you are more likely to install something from one of your social contacts from a site randomly (which could claim a download is necessary because it lacks a plugin or by impostoring false update notice).
If it really is only hanging in firefox as an add-on it should be fairly easy to remove - just press the SHIFT key while lance firefox to access safe mode, go to firefox > addons > extensions and delete something that seems suspicious and you have not added manually: Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems
If your system has been compromised, it is also important to change all your stored passwords...

The site of the New York Times is the only site because of Firefox to experience this extreme slowness. Firefox update made no difference. To view the website of times without slow, I had to add the site to the blacklist of the JavaScript to YesScript 2.0, but this, of course, disable many features of JavaScript on the site.
Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.
You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player and turn off protected in Flash drive mode

I called the New York Times, and they said that they had several people with the same complaint. I did not have this problem before today. Normally, I recognized when I go on the site and do not have to connect at all. Today, I was not recognized and when I tried to connect, it says that there is an unspecified error and wouldn't let me open a session.

What are the best practices to install drivers for Windows 7-64 bit?
I have HP Pavilion dv6-1115e laptop, which Windows Vista was the original OS. Recently I upgraded to Windows 7-64 bit version, but I still use pilots who originallay came for Windows Vista (no problem at all for the moment). Now I have thoughts of installing drivers that are specifically for Windows 7 64 bit to improve performance. So what I need to first uninstall each software driver and then install the new versions OR I can install them without deleting the previous versions? It would lead to a kind of shock?
Hello:
Normally you can just update the drivers without uninstalling existing, unless the installation instructions will tell you to do.
Some driver packages will automatically uninstall the old drivers before installing new.
More simply install on the current criteria. I rarely uninstall drivers before updating them.
After you update a driver, you must always check the tab driver in the Device Manager for the device that you updated to ensure that the new driver installed. You can check this tab before update and then after you updated to note the date/version of the pilot before and the driver date and version later.
If for some reason, there was no change, then I uninstall the current driver and try reinstalling the newest one.
Others may have different opinions.

The New York TIMES link no longer works in Firefox
Anyone has an idea why my NYT subscription works in Firefox is no longer but works fine in other browsers? When I try to log in, it takes me a message that says:
"Firefox has detected that the server redirects the request for this address in a way that will never end."
Can I do to solve this problem? Thank you.
