Do you have the "DownloadHelper" add-on installed? If so, try disabling it. This add-on seems to be the direct cause of it."

Disabling Download Helper seems to remove the problem and re-enabling it brings it back.

As far as I am concerned this means Download Helper is making a direct attack on Software Informer, the add-on can be found here: http://www.downloadhelper.net/ and here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006.

I have removed Download Helper from my PC because of this and I hope this problem gets cleared up.

Here is a list of all the add-ons, themes and information regarding my Firefox install.

Application: Firefox 3.6 (20100115144158)
Operating System: WINNT (x86-msvc)

- Adblock Plus 1.1.3
- Chromifox Companion 0.9.9.5
- DownloadHelper 4.7.1
- Extension List Dumper 1.14.8
- Free Download Manager plugin 1.3.4
- InstaClick 1.6
    (Disabled)
- Java Console 6.0.17
- Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 0.0.0
- TinEye Reverse Image Search 0.7.1

I also have Spybot S&D, Teatimer, Comodo firewall and Avira Antivir which all deam Software Informer as safe.

I must say I was very confused when this message started popping up in Firefox.

A bar is comming accross the top of Firefox suggesting that Informer attempts to install spyware on user computers? Any ideas?
