seems to have a virus embeded in Firefox
When you use Firefox 14.0.1 unawares, I'll see a white Flash on the screen. After investigation, I find something (a virus) has opened a new window and take me to a page of advertising. The defination of a virus is something that takes control over your computer, it does. It allows me to close the window, although he fights to keep it open. I normally run Microsoft Security Essentials and did that and... Security Scanner Microsoft, Microsoft software Malious, Spybot, Malwarebytes, and Windows Defender-offline removal tool. None can find something. Yet it continues to happen. Any help would be appreciated. any suggestions? It's boring, but I could live with it, but since this isn't just I never know what else he could do, and that scares me.

Network networking Internet website URL website troubleshooting Web page program network
I think I have a virus in my e.mails... have Norton, why it did not work?
Hi Margoxn,
- Which e-mail account do you use?
- Why do you think that the emails are virus affected? Are you referring to the attachments?
- Can you get any warning of virus for mails? Whicg operating system is installed on the computer?
There is no need to scan email, parts and that is done by all modern anti-malware programs such as files are written to the file system of the PC.
Refer to: How can I tell if my computer has a virus?
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
Please post back with more information so that we can help you better.

Since W10 is released, Firefox seems to have been sabotaged.
Since W10 is released, Firefox seems to have been sabotaged "voluntarily."
Repeatedly, I asks me to change my default on firefox browser, despite the fact that it is long established as such.
It runs much more slowly, with a lot more mistakes.
I now get apparently screen continuous updating, making almost impossible email screen freezes when it "thinks".
I now get messages of error of pursuit "(firefox ne répond ne pas) '."Hope you can do some alternatives.
DFirefox 40, scheduled to be released next week, will have many patches of compatibility for Windows 10. I hope that will address several issues that you are facing.
Since you seem to be an "early adopter" type person, you want to try Firefox 40 in his last days of tests?
Note: Some extensions is perhaps not compatible with Firefox 40, especially the toolbars now of security which tend to be updated simultaneously with or shortly after Firefox versions.
The following procedure will not remove your settings; don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.
(A) download a complete Installer for Firefox 40 'beta' of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/beta/all/ in a convenient location. (Scroll down your preferred language).
Note: to retain the use of your plugins installed, I suggest the 32-bit version.
(B) the release of Firefox (if any).
(C) to rename the program folder, either:
(Windows 64-bit folder names)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
TO
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
(Windows 32-bit folder names)
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
TO
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(D) to run the installation program that you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
No improvement after this installation?
Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:
- \OldFirefox\Plugins
- \OldFirefox\browser\plugins
When the final version of Firefox 40 becomes available (approximately 11 August), I propose to install this beta because will be auto-updated to Firefox 41 shortly after and unless you like software testing, maybe it's a little more adventure you are looking for.

Firefox seems to have recently developed seemingly random usually do not remember bookmarks, particularly when the pc does not stop correctly. Thank you
If Firefox detects that the places.sqlite database is corrupted then Firefox can create a new database file and import bookmarks from a JSON backup that does not contain the most recent bookmarks (a new JSON backup is created when you run Firefox for the first time on a day), then you may lose the bookmarks in such a case.
You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

WHEN I OPEN THE FIREFOX BROWSER, I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THIS ORANGE BAR THAT SAYS FIREFOX AT THE TOP LEFT. I WATCH FILE, EDIT, VIEW, HISTORY, FAVORITES, TOOLS, AND HELP. I WANTED TO TURN ON PRIVATE BROWSING, BUT SEEMS TO HAVE LOST THE FIREFOX BUTTON THAT I NEED TO CLICK ON. THANK YOU, JANE
If you click view, toolbars, then uncheck the 'Menu Bar', you get the Firefox back button?
To turn on private browsing, you can click on the Firefox button, then 'start private browsing' or press Control, Shift, and P keys all at the same time on your keyboard.
Also, make sure that you update with the last 11 Firefox to take advantage of security fixes and stability!

Find seems to have changed in Firefox. Before, when making a (CTRL + F) to find, research was not specific or non-specific to the caps CAPS. "In other words, if I typed in"firefox"(without ceiling), it will find the words"firefox,"Firefox", or "FIREFOX", regardless of capitalization. Now, however, the function finds will only match exact same capitalization. Totally, this undermines the usefulness of the service and is a major concern. Please fix.
This has happened
A few times a week
== I noticed in during the two or two weeks.
Make sure that the "match case" box in the find (Ctrl + F) bar is not activated.

Try to download and run the full scan of the system with:

If you received any error, try using another PC which is clean and upload it to removable media (for example, flash memory) and turn on your PC and press the F8 key several times and chose safe mode, then press on enter and then insert your removable device and run the tools and run the full scan of the system.
