Spam? Should my Firefox download come from tutankhamon.acc.umu.se????
My Firefox blew up this morning. Wouldn't let me on. Said that (A PICTURE OF A SQUARE) was the wrong version. I suspected a virus, so I restored my computer. Still no firefox, so I went to my Internet Explorer to download a new Firefox, but it just didn't look right. It wanted to download a file from this tutankhamon.acc.umu.se. That looked like another virus, so I thought I'd check before downloading. What do ya think????

Did you get the file from the Firefox site? I clicked on the download button and the download screen indicated the copy was coming from Japan. Try also running the AVG Rescue CD/USB. It cleaned up my system when some junkware killed Norton. http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-rescue-cd-download
Mozilla use mirrors around the world to host the Firefox files, many being at universities. The tutankhamon.acc.umu.se site is the Umeå University in Sweden, it is one of the locations that host the Firefox downloads on behalf of Mozilla.
