Possible virus?(Firefox)
I opened firefox After about an hour of the system being in standby and in theSponsored Links row there were 2 new entries
http:/ /bom07s30-in-x03. 1e100. net/ (I dismantled the URLs to prevent accidental clicks)
pnbomb-ac-in-x0e.1e100
I right clicked and searched in Google and it showed up as this
pnbomb-ac-in-x0e.1e100 Sponsored
it disappeared after a while, just to be sure I ransudo lsof -i
and noticed firefox was connected to this url
maa05s15-in-x03.1e100.net
I am not sure if am infected or this is just a glitch(I obviously didn't click on the links)

It is a geeky pun, 1e100 is scientific notation for 1 followed by a hundred zeroes. This number is called a googol, which is similar sounding to google.
large number defined as ten to the power of 100
