Sothink Web Video  Downloader 4.0 and  all versions of Master Filer were found to contain Trojan horse code  aimed at Windows users. In a blog  post, Mozilla stated that the Master Filer add-on was  able to  bypass AMO's security tests. Mozilla user CatThief discovered the threat, it said. And when  Mozilla  added two more security checks to its vetting process and  rescanned its  entire catalog, it discovered that version 4 of the  Sothink Web Video  Downloader also contained a Trojan horse program.Sothink Web Video  Downloader contained Win32.LdPinch.gen, and Master  Filer contained  Win32.Bifrose.32.Bifrose. Master Filer was removed from Mozilla's Firefox  add-on site on  January 25, and the Sothink video downloader was removed  on Tuesday. Sothink Web Video Download 5.5.90819 had been a mildly popular  Firefox  add-on Because the Trojan horse programs are tied to Firefox, Mozilla  warns,  host computers won't be infected until Firefox started.  Uninstalling  either add-on is only part of the solution, if the  infection has already  attacked the host computer.Mozilla recommends that users who suspect  that they are infected use  one of the following security applications to  sweep and clean their  computers after uninstalling the threatening  add-on:  Antiy-AVL Avast AVG GData Ikarus K7  AntiVirus McAfee Norman VBA32</blockquote>
