I just booted up and the following thing was on my
SM Browser page. Came up w/o any prompt.
When things appear w/o bidding, i am very
skeptical about it being a scam or Maleware
trying to get on my system if I click on anything.
http://www.cys-audiovideodownloader.com/
Is this authentic ?
I would like to get a program or extension or
add-on that will extract (capture) ANY video on
any web site....like on "News" web pages or blogs etc.
Is there such a thing....that is safe to download?

It's a scam. I got it too and malwarebytes does not get rid of it. The way I
finally got
rid of it was to blacklist the URL using the BlockSite extension.
Here is the URL for it
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blocksite/?src=ss
Since it is not compatible with SeaMonkey you will have to run it through the
online
SeaMonkey extension converter first:
http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/ When the extension comes across a URL it's
blacklisted it displays a quick unobrusive temporary popup.
This should work (it did for me) but there is the separate problem in that the
developer
of this extension has seen fit to resort to the same trick. So I BlockListed
the Blocklist
URL!
Wouldn't that still leave the browser director or re-director active?
I'm not sure I was successful in getting rid of it because it reappeared
at least once, but it hasn't returned in quite awhile. With all the
built-in "features" of marginal use that are built into browsers (I have
to clear Firefox's latest great idea off of my toolbar almost every
upgrade) you would think that an easy-to-use blacklist would be
built-in. You know, safety......
