Sneaky spyware

I wonder when information bars will start being abused by evil people to get users to install their spyware.

When I click the link in Firefox 1.0.2, I get this message on the top of the page and nothing is displayed on the page.

This is EXACTLY why I switch to themes in firefox like Abstract PC.

While this normally would have worked for a regular user, under this theme the real information bars look different--much different). Now, Find a way to make css detect what skin you are using ( if thats possible), and we could have a real problem here.
