Firefox may hang the ransome FBI malware problem?

Can Firefox block the attack "FBI ransom malware?
IE is not.
Norton Internet security is.

PS Free "ComboFix" works well to remove it.

Firefox is not a malware remover or anti-virus. Report of viruses that you have that are not picked up by your anti-virus antivirus provider (in your case, norton)

  • Whenever I start up firefox any version, the program asks to reinstall each addon installed, or tells me they are incompatible.

    What is said. Every time I open Firefox, Firefox tells me that all my addons are either incompatible with this version or it asks me to reinstall them or both. It's happened to all versions of Firefox, I tried. I'm going to install Firefox, then install the addons without any problem. Then on the next reboot of my computer, Open firefox, I get messages or asks me to reinstall the addons or they are incompatible.

  • Firefox has corrupted the file download. Fix to reset or uninstal, more problem happened

    This hours 5 all started there, when I tried to download a file from my school site .doc, but Microsoft Word open with "file conversion" options and preview is filled with unreadable codes. I used Nightly 64-bit on a 64-bit Windows 8.1 system newly installed (about a week ago after I upgraded my ssd).

    1. I tried to open other .exl on the same site, but Microsoft Excel can open not saying at all that the file is corrupted. I used IE 11 to download the same files and it worked perfectly. Problem with every night she looked like.

    2. I have reset every night, then tried to download the same file again, does not. I tried safemode disable all addons and try to download the .doc file. He worked surprisly!. So it seems like a problem with the addon. Then I disabled all addons manually restarted again but tested does not. I was really frustrated at that point so I think that my night has been hacked by malware or hidden plugins.

    3 uninstalled every night, then I cleaned all the files on the left with Ccleaner. I checked the full scan with Windows security essential; Download malware cleaner "Malwarebytes". Yes, some malware such as files have been detected and cleaned.

    4. downloaded waterfox 64-bit, but now several problems. It remains impossible to download the file to .doc or exl format now. The right click menu does not appear on a Web page, image or highlighted text. CTRL + click on a link to open the link in a new tab does not work, nothing happens. I try to reset or reboot to safemode, Nope! the Help menu is gone, quite clear!

    In short, I wouldn't reinstall my OS for that matter. I wish I could find some remover software that detects the virus of firefox pluggins. I don't want to try the 32-bit version of firefox for this problem.

    Thank you.

    If Waterfox works as Firefox, commune of the plugin, you may need to change some settings of the plugin. Here's what I suggest:

    Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins.

    Then check the setting of activation for each plugin in the list:

    • For plugins that must run around the world (such as security software), the value 'ask to activate '.
    • For plugins that all websites are allowed to use, the value 'ask to activate '.
    • For plugins that NO sites should use, or which seem not site-specific (e.g. leads), the value "never activate.
    • Let other plugins on 'ask to activate '.

    Then go out and repeat Waterfox upwards to see if that helps with the right-click context menus.

  • What can I do to prevent Firefox from hanging when I leave after having tried all the suggested fixes?

    Running Windows 7 with all updates. Starting with version 29.0.1 of Firefox, Firefox often hangs when I go out. When you restart Firefox, I get "Firefox is already running but is not responding... ». I then have to manually stop firefox.exe * 32 front I can restart the program. I applied all of the suggested fixes (disable all addons, extension and themes), and made sure I can delete the parent.lock file. Also noted the closing delay mentioned with Vista user. I have the error message occur several minutes after the release of Firefox, although I have often used the X button at the top of the right screen to exit Firefox always without any problems in the past. The function of this key has changed too?
    In any case, I use now exit the menu button drop down, but still have the problem of blocking.

    This is a bug in Firefox 29 where Firefox crashes out when the setting 'clear history of Firefox closing' is selected.

    If you use custom settings for history in your Firefox Privacy options and selecting 'Clear history of Firefox closing', remove the checkbox. See this article for more details:

  • Why don't the automatic update to my Firefox always hang up when it verifies compatiblily with my addons?

    Towards the end of an automatic update of Firefox, the program opens a dialog box that says that it is to check the compatibility of the new version with my addons. He also mentioned that I be patient, the process may take several minutes. The process continues without normal ending, and I have to use Windows Task Manager to stop it. I have let it run the form as long as 35 minutes, but it's never complete the process. This has happened for each automatic updates of last 3 or 4. What is going on?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    Delete the files (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

    See "extension corrupted files:

    If you see disabled extensions or is not compatible in ' Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button, on the side of the left end of the search bar to check if there is an update available compatibility.

    If this did not help, then also delete the addons.sqlite file.

    Hi Roykarnataka,
     
    MSVCP90.dll errors might indicate a problem of registry, a virus or malware problem, or even a hardware failure.
     
    Scan the checker (SFC) system files on your computer and check if it helps fix the problem.
     

    SFC analyzes and verifies the versions of all protected system files after you restart your computer.

  • I know little or nothing of WININET, but it seems that this may be the problem based on the error messages 9 out of 10 say involve this part of the Microsoft software.

    I'm not tech guru when it comes to computers.  I don't really know enough to get into trouble.  Here's my problem.

    For the last six weeks or so, I keep getting dropped offline.  AOL is my browser and I get the message "your AOL software has encountered a problem" or words to that effect.  Tech AOL were useless to solve the problem.  I checked my error messages and noticed that when I fell off line, most of them involved a WININET problem.  I know little or nothing of WININET, but it seems that this may be the problem based on the error messages 9 out of 10 say involve this part of the Microsoft software.  It's just a guess on my part, but the problem becomes very irritating to say the least.  So, if someone can you please throw some light on my problem it will be greatly appreciated? This WININET error message might have nothing to do at all with hit his offline, but thought I'd ask at least satisfy my limited knowledge of computer programs.

    Thank you

    To see if your system or software from AOL, what happens if you connect to AOL by using another browser (like Firefox or IE)?

    Wininit is part of the operating system and usually if it was the problem you would have other problems on your computer then I suspect it's an AOL software
