Firefox Problem Options

[Luna5]

One day I was using Firefox and all of a sudden it restarted it self like to default settings. So now when I try to go to certain pages it won't load the next page and get's stuck. I just unistalled and reinstalled and it's still acting retarded. I have DSL so it's not a speed factor.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Thanks

:o !!

but if she has spyware, her ie should be affected even more than firefox. she claims her ie is working perfectly fine.

thats the strange part.
i think you're being a little bit too dramatic tama, zonealarm should block out most of the worms and activex controls, even if she desides to enable them through her firefox.

It's firefox being affected because of its protocol, and only its protocol. When her PC was "infected" it executed a command to restart Firefox into default settings, assuming that the user of the browser might be some noob who's never messed with the settings of firefox (plugins/addons/browser preferences).

She can uninstal and reinstall all she likes, it's still gonna recognize the browser's protocol. Yet it'll leave Internet Explorer alone only because the spyware never entered through IE. It can care less about IE for it's only objective is to log data or "spy" and send data to it's destination.


If we're technically speaking here.
