I opened firefox After about an hour of the system being in standby and in theSponsored Links row there were 2 new entries

http:/ /bom07s30-in-x03. 1e100. net/ (I dismantled the URLs to prevent accidental clicks)

pnbomb-ac-in-x0e.1e100

I right clicked and searched in Google and it showed up as this

pnbomb-ac-in-x0e.1e100 Sponsored it disappeared after a while, just to be sure I ran sudo lsof -i and noticed firefox was connected to this url

maa05s15-in-x03.1e100.net

I am not sure if am infected or this is just a glitch(I obviously didn’t click on the links)

    I think you’re on the same page, but mean false negatives not false positive.
    False negatives being the potential that you have the virus, but the scanner wasn’t able to identify it so returned a “you’re all clean” when in fact, you’ve got a dirty virus and should have listened in health class.
