Click jacking is a flash vulnerability, and can even attack a browser running in Linux. Aside from that I have a completely irrational seething hatred for Google Chrome. It makes me want to crush my monitor when I see its stupid little curved tabs on my screen. Three clicks to print something... GRRRR! @RK Thanks for the comment, but I have to disagree.

The best thing to do is to use a browser that is not susceptible to these attacks. I recommend Google Chrome, the only browser that is safe so far. I am in IT and have seen several infections so far.

One of my clients got infected with AV360 from looking at adult sites, so gave him an Ubuntu Live CD, told him to boot from that and use Firefox if he must look at r18 adult sites, saves me having to remove viruses like AV360 from his pc every week.

I suffered a similar clickjacking effort the other day, and it cost a callout for a techie to come and remove it. I will definitely investigate Norton 360. You didn't mention Kaspersky, so I take it that it isn't effective? I detest these creatures that do this to us.

It pretended to be a Windows Anti-virus update. The IT guy came and cleaned up my computer for me and put another malware program on that works really well. You can definitely tell its not a bonafide Microsoft Antvirus program because it bugs the living crap out of you about "potential threats" with pop-ups over your programs. Beware.
