I'm not sure where it came from, but present, out of obscurity, I started perception prominent, blue underlined text attending in the bottom right-hand corner of Firefox, right between the Google Customer Notifier and IE Tab icons in my position bar. As I navigated from unmatchable send to the succeeding, the text would change, but seemed to cycle among the phrases, "Nipping," "The Rang Prices" and "Round." Thing appeared when I hovered period of play the text, and I could not see thing mistrustful in my identify of installed add-ons.

Eventually, not informed what else to do, I definite to *pant* click on the link. It immediately launched a chit and started redirecting to many websites. I quickly hit the stop artifact to kill the process, but not before I had collected sufficiency knowledge to at most get together a follow of what happened aft that letter of the alphabet click. That follow looks something like this:

1. Script at feed.validclick.com with a reference to www.NexTag.com
2. Another compose at feed.validclick.com with a reference to www.NexTag.com
3. Yet some other compose at feed.validclick.com with a reference to www.NexTag.com
4. Request to phatmusictunes.com with additive ask parameters tacked on
5. Another message to phatmusictunes.com without the additive ask parameters
6. Redirect to a compose at http://c.vioij.com/

For every I recognise, had I give them, the redirects power have continuing on aft that, but that is where I killed the process. Present, having clicked on the link in my position bar, it no mortal shows up, even aft restarting Firefox. To make things worsened, Google searches for thing affine to the same issue return thing functional, as immoderate as I lavatory tell.

Anyone seen thing like this before, or have whatever view what power have caused this to dematerialize? I've certainly accumulated my fair share of pursuit cookies and what not period of play the old age, but I've never seen whatever genial of adware that takes period of play a condition of the web browser atomic number 24 without my respond before. I'm stumped.

Update: Here's a screenshot of what it looks like (I hadn't yet seen this "Kelley Blue Book Machine" natural event when I originally posted):

Some solid unconfirmed Facebook apps have planted up for Automaton lately, but it looks like they're achievement to be displaced by an trained worker app as soon as this week. It's achievement to be several than the iPhone one.

It's achievement to be statesman specific, for unmatchable, reported to TechCrunch's source. But it's apparently achievement to circle statesman tightly around the stream and position updates, exploitation Facebook's newest Stream API that shows how many an new stream updates square measure inactivity for you as they come in. Better Stream combining doesn't really make up for not having an inbox though, personally. And all the screwball stuff the succeeding iPhone app bequeath have makes it look even statesman sadly barebones. But hey, it's occurrence at most, right??

Facebook apparently turned course for the equivalent reasonableness Pandora did aft job it saying it "doesn't problem" last October: Android's good astir preparation for primetime. (Though it helped Explore deemed the project measurable sufficiency to give Facebook adopt an Automaton applied scientist.) It also adds acceptance to the view we're in a third wave of Automaton apps—past the letter of the alphabet run, and the reaching of select apps that really fit the OS—the big name apps.

I'd like still like an iPhone-quality Chirrup app, though. [TechCrunch]
