I used to browse internet with Internet Explorer from the beginning. But I when I could know that firefox is a nice browser to browse the internet, then I decided to download and install it.
I searched in google writing "download firefox". There I could see thousands of results that offer downloading of firefox. I just downloaded from a site. But when I installed the firefox, the so-called firefox started to steal my secret information!
Actually it was a program that exactly looked like firefox but it had spyware coding in it! This program was made by hackers. Every time I input any username or password, this so-called firefox was trying to send it to a thirdparty (my anti-virus program warned me every time)! So, be careful dear friends. Download firefox from mozilla.com only or else you may lose your confidential data.

Yeah you are very right!
We should download files from its original location. I personally prefer forums for full version of software downloading.

Yesterday only I downloaded and installed this browser.As like you I found lot of results for the same keyword and now I don't remember that from where did I download it.I am confused now.Thanks for the useful information and I don't like to take risk in this and now I am going to download it from Mozilla .How do we find if it has some spy ware programs? Do you have any idea about this? If we scan the set up file, are we able to identify?If you have any idea about this please let me know so that I can change the passwords of my accounts.

Hey Little_Boy ( Nice name 
)
This is a very good discussion you have started to warn fellow myLotters.
I am very careful when it comes to downloading any software.
Its best to always try and go to the official site of the product if one knows it.
Good thing your AV warned you!
Happy myLotting!
