I would imagine that most of you will be aware of the recent clocked vulnerability in Firefox 3.5.

For those who have missed it, a new version 3.5.1 is available with a patch for the flaw.
The advice is not to use FF until you have installed this update.

They expired at midnight on 15th July (last night). Here's what to do: Method 1 - change the date on the system to 15th July or before, restart. Then uninstall ZA and replace it with the latest version. Method 2 - might be needed because ZA leaves behind a lot of stuff after uninstalling (even using Revo to do it.) Start up in Safe Mode and then uninstall ZA. ...
