| Firefox navigates to reported attack site c.ppcxml.net Posted: 31 Jan 2010 10:25 PM PST Another infected PC. This time, Windows XP also got corrupted. So, as well as removing the infection, I also need to do a repair install of Windows. But after all that, clicking on any google results (using Firefox) brings up a Firefox “reported attack site”… looking at the url, it seems I get redirected to c.ppcxml.net … regardless of which link I click on.
I quickly find the solution: Use windows explorer to navigate to something like: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions\{CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0017-ABCDEFFEDCBA}\chrome\content\ffjcext Note that there might be more than 1 folder that starts with “{CAFEEFAC-”… you might need to look at all of them. I ended up renaming any file that ends in .XUL (I changed the extension from .XUL to .LUX). You might need to try a few combinations, as its a fairly important file for Firefox. Related posts:
