Yesterday I used the once-reliable Cnet to download software from their site. They suggested using their Cnet downloader, which I did. Just as I clicked Yes to download, I saw a tiny message saying it would install a search plugin called Wajam. It was too late to say No and besides there didn’t appear to be any option to do so. The installation of Wajam locked up Firefox after installing it on Explorer and Chrome. I deinstalled Wajam from Add / Remove programs.

Things then got much worse.
