I'd like some suggestions from anyone, please... First ... do NOT click on the link below unless after reading my entire email you're satisfied that it's safe for you to do so; you've been warned.
I got an email from someone I hadn't heard from in over a year, and my instinct got the best of me; I clicked on the link which was the only contents of the email. The link was/is: http://teamtheme.in/home/index.php It immediately redirected to a site which no longer exists. Is it possible I've infected my computer? I'd think so, but I don't study all the possible methods of attack through Mozilla. So my question is what should I do to clean this up? These are a few things I'm thinking of: 1) using apt-get remove and reinstall firefox. I tried this, but my bookmarks, history, etc., are still there so I don't know what else might still be installed, that's bad for me. 2) building an entirely new user for day-to-day work. Copy over ONLY the text and other known good files I need for day-to-day work. Start over with Firefox, etc. (I'd have to copy over my email store, though.) 3) back up my userspace, but NOT anything firefox. Reinstall the entire OS. Any suggestions? What should I delete to get rid of any possible firefox problems? Anything else I should consider? I want to be up and running again some time tomorrow; I'll appreciate your input. Thanks.
