Firefox FP - Rootkit.dropper

Recommended Posts

Installed Malwarebytes on a fresh w7 32bit install and when I tried to install firefox from this http://www.mozilla.org/da/firefox/new/#download-fx

 

I get this in my logs: DETECTION C:\Users\Nick\firefox.exe Rootkit.Dropper QUARANTINE , now the things I don't understand is the filename is "FirefoxSetupStub25.exe", which looks really really weird to me however its the official website for firefox, so I doubt it's real unless they have been hacked and my KIS doesn't pick anything up.

 

However KIS mention in KSN that less than 1000 KSN users have used this program (Firefox, Mozilla)

I've added a ZIP folder with the setup file, remember scanning the file doesn't alert malwarebyte, installing does. 

 

Other things to note:

 

Malwarebyte is update @ 10-11-2013.

 

 

 

Could you report back if this is infected or not?

Hi, koxi:
 
It looks as if Fatdcuk has you fixed up for the FP on the Fx installer. ;)
(IIRC there was a similar case last week: https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=136126 ?)

 

Just to add a bit about the stub installer question....
 
Yes, Mozilla has recently moved to a "stub" installer. 

If you want the full installer, you need to click the "download a fresh copy" link or the "systems & languages" button under the green download button at https://www.mozilla.org, in order to get to the full list of installers for all languages and platforms. Here is the URL (for me, in the US): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
