Firefox Extension: Blue Security
If you had the bluesecurity Firefox extension installed you most likely recieved e-mails similar to this. Bluesecurity.com is under a denial of service attack at the moment.
==========================================
BlueSecurity Important Update
------------------------------
You are being emailed because you are a BlueSecurity user.
Today, BlueSecurity database became known to worst spammers. Within 48 hours, the database will be published on the Internet, and your email will be open to a community of spammers. After this, you will see that spam to your mailbox increases 10 - 20 fold.
BlueSecurity was illegally attacking spammers, now spammers fight back!
REMOVE BLUE FROG FROM YOUR TRAY ASAP TO AVOID GETTING MORE SPAM!!!!
We, the spammers, have analyzed software of BlueSecurity, and found a lot of malicious code. This includes: ability to send mass mail to users. Ability to attack websites with Distributed Denial of Service attack (DDoS), and update functionality, which can install Trojan software on your computer and turn your computer into zombie.
BlueSecurity is using your computers to illegally attack sites including non-spam sites. They decide who is to be attacked today. And they have been noticed to attack many non-spam websites.
But now, attacked sites fight back. We are using their own database of users to send millions of spam messages to. You are one of these poor folks.
UNINSTALL BLUE FROG NOW!!!
You will ask how the Database leaked???
Its simple. BlueSecurity approach DOES NOT WORK. They have publish encrypted database for spammers, so they can remove emails from their lists, yet they cant see the emails.
What BlueSecurity didnt realize is that after you removed the emails, its quite simple to figure what emails were removed. How can BlueSecurity be so stupid??? I dont know.
But after scanning 100 gigabytes of email addresses, we now have 99% of all BlueSecurity users. And guess what, they cant do anything about that.
Because YOU CAN NOT ILLEGALY ATTACK PEOPLE and expect to continue operations.
As of today, BlueSecurity project is BUSTED. They will eventually shut their website. Because YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO COMPLAIN.
The reason you will be getting A LOT OF SPAM is BlueSecurity.
REMOVE BLUE FROG. AND NEVER INSTALL IT AGAIN.
BlueSecurity lists a USA address as their place of business, whereas their main office is in Tel Aviv. BlueSecurity is run by a few Russian born Jews, who have previously been spamming themselves. They do not take money for downloading their software, they do not take money for removing emails from their lists.
How do you think they make money? We dont know But they could be
1.Using your computer to send spam themselves.
2.Hired to attack other sites
3.Asking for randsom after attack
They have no visible revenue stream, and 500,000 computers sitting there working for them. What are they doing?
Whatever it is UNINSTALL BLUE FROG, THEN GUESS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

Useless Toolbars
A lot of toolbars that come set up as default on firefox are useless and they take up room. Right click the toolbars and remove the checkmarks on the ones you don't need. The only ones you need are the file menu bar, the navigation, and the address bar. The rest can be scrapped.

FasterFox
Performance and network tweaks for Firefox. Fasterfox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial paint delay. Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and caching all of the links on the page you are browsing. A popup blocker for popups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included.

Status Bar (Javascript) Text Disabled
For some odd reason I noticed that the status bar text dynamically changable by javascript is disabled on default. Here's how to re-enable it. Depending on your version, Operating System and certain updates click either tools options or edit preferences whichever is availible. Click the content globe. To the right of Enable Javascript, click advanced. Click the check mark next to Change Status Bar Text. Click okay, click okay. Done.
