I just installed flash in Firefox. I was playing around with the

to be
scrolling and then click real fast. I found that if I turned off the
autoscrolling, anytime I clicked in the browser window with the
mouse wheel
this site would come up. On a couple of occasions a page within the
Microsoft site would come up instead.
I deleted the mozilla directory in my home directory. After that
the first
three clicks of my mouse wheel would cause the Microsoft page to
come up,
after that the other site would come up.
How could there be spyware on my FreeBSD computer and how do I get
rid of it?
Not sure if this is true for FreeBSD, but try deleting the
~/.macromedia directory and see what happens. This may remove any
unwanted cached flash apps.
Interesting though. If this persists, someone may have found and
exploited a security issue with Flash =\...
