Superfish WindowShopper is contained in the last update for the IE Tab Plus
Firefox add-on.

nsSuperfishComponent.js (5.4k)

nsSuperfishUtils.js (60.8k)
then you have the spyware installed"

That issue relates to the original IE Tab extension, not IE-Tab-2 or
Coral IE Tab or IE-Tab Plus.
Note the directory /ie...@ip.cn/ .. China .. should tell you something!!

folder in my profile. I uninstalled it and it removed the folder. I
installed the IE Tab Plus currently in the Addons server and the folder
came back. I uninstalled IE Tab Plus again and installed IE Tab 2 and
the folder did not come back, so the issue does apply to IE Tab Plus.

Statement not entirely accurate. I had _IE-Tab Plus_ installed, and all
4 files are there.
Fortunately, uninstalling the add-on has got rid of the said files.

Something else is awry then because I've been using IE tab since the
beginning and never had the problem, I also opt for the auto-updates as
well but using Coral IE Tab exclusively. Could it be where the extension
is being listed and downloaded from? Mozillazine forum mentions the
problem isn't with IE Tab Plus, I think I read that.

Confusing but it appears that the problem began with the original IE-Tab
and subsequent updates, dunno.
Looks like removing IE-Tab-x and installing Coral IE Tab is the way to go.

After reading and re-absorbing the issue at Mozillazine, it does appear
that IE-TabPlus is the culprit, but did it originate with with IE-Tab
(original iteration)?

that one.
One would think that, if there was a known or potential malware problem
with the addon, it would be removed from the Firefox addons page until
the problem was resolved.

yet, Adblock Plus seems to hate some videos. Won't let them play, even
if disabled.
Disable from Add-ons dialog, reload, and the videos play fine.

That's odd.

Have you tried a force install using Nightly Tester Tools or similar app?
