Hello MC, yes I am from Brazil like you.
You went right to the point: I am a Itaú bank customer, and in order
to avoid all the hassles caused by the G-Buster "solution" (and also
because I hate the evil IEs) I was using Firefox 11 to do my home
banking.
Surprisingly, after abandoning Firefox 11 and upgrading my old
SeaMonkey 1.1.19 to version 2.9.1, I was still able to use my account
*even without* installing the G-Buster extension.
After a while, somehow they noticed that and since two days ago that
is no longer working.
Thanks for sharing you portable Firefox 11 solution, it is a great
idea and for sure I am going to use it, hoping we can go back to
SeaMonkey for home banking some day in the future.
About the install.rdf hacking as commented by some fellows, I really
did that successfully for some extensions, but for this specific case
it didn't work.

Various thoughts on how to remove the worm.
<http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=61409>
Another guy's idea on how to remove the worm (I make no claims or
warranties as to accuracy or efficacy).
From what I've read, the idea seems to be that the user must install
Internet security software, but it's not enough that they do so, they
must install precisely the bank's preferred ISS. On every ^%$#^% machine
they ever use to access the account. It makes me wonder if the banks
have a financial relationship to the SW vendor.
