User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9

With today's (11-5-07) Firefox update, Spy Doctor blocks Firefox.exe and identifies  it as a Mundo Trojan virus with elevated risk. I have notified Spy Doctor. Firefox does eventually open but with a lot of grinding.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox-that's all it takes. If you have Spy Doctor it will block it.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Spy Doctor notifies me that it has blocked Firefox.exe as a Trojan Mundo virus (I don't have a clue what that means). Computer grinds and chugs and after about 2 minutes, Firefox opens anyway.

Expected Results:  
Firefox is probably fine. There is some kind of conflict in this latest Firefox update with Spy Doctor.

This started today. All has worked fine until now.

PC Tools/Spy Doctor is not usually on our keep-updated list. Adding Beltzner to investigate if we want to help keep them up to date. I've noticed that Kaspersky is also not currently on our list.
