major FIREFOX headache

Post by pj »

Hi, Ok, I've done my spyware doctor scan, my norton scan, my ad aware scannand uninstalled and reinstalled forefox, but for some Godforsaken reason, when I open it, it freezess and then freezes whatever other programmes are open.

I have to click on the x at top right of screen to shut it down, then the "end now" box pops up and I could be clicking that for 2 minutes before it finally shuts down. Pain in the A$$! I must have some sort of virus, but Norton ain't picking it up.

Help!!!

Spyware Terminator is better than Adaware these days and block things before they cause trouble rather than getting rid of them later. AVG do an anti-spyware too but I have not used it.

Try an online Panda Active scan as that may find something you can then find the fix for.

Despite the fact there is also a bug causing flu/ headaches, and you hammering it with super-strength paracetamol, the heidache cleared instantly at the moment everything was okay?

Weird, that.!wink!

I have re-installed about 5 times and it's still fucked. I'll go back to IE I think and give it up.
