Trojan piggybacks on Firefox

A new Trojan horse making the rounds has been installing itself as a Firefox extension, according to security company McAfee.
The FormSpy Trojan attacks computers that have already been infected with the Downloader-AXM Trojan, according to a security advisory McAfee issued Tuesday. Once FormSpy is executed, it installs itself as a component of the Firefox Web browser.
