使用Visual Studio 2008(或MS其它依靠.NET的产品)的用户在更新最新的SP1后,发现微软强行在Firefox浏览器上安装了名叫“Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant”的扩展程序,其功能是“加入一键支持,报告web服务器安装的.NET版本”。 此扩展的安装没有提示,基本上对用户也没有任何帮助,但更为恶劣的是它不能用普通方式卸载(工具->附加组件中该扩展的卸载按钮不可用)。
How to remove it
Against what many people think, though, it can be uninstalled - but by nothing less than hacking the actual registry of Windows! Open your Start Menu and choose Run. Type in regedit and press enter/click OK. Within there, you have to look for something called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions
and delete the key there (for Windows Vista 64-bit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions
).
When you have done that, type in about:config
in the address bar in Firefox, accept the warning and then remove general.useragent.extra.microsoftdotnet
and microsoft.CLR.clickonce.autolaunch
.
And, to finish it off, open Windows Explorer and go to \WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Windows Presentation Foundation\DotNetAssistantExtension\
to remove the last remnants of the evil extension.
