Need computer help big time

4 replies
When I click on the Firefox logo it downloads Firefox over and over. This is also true of other sites. I have checked Properties and the target is fine. I deleted Firefox and re-installed and it is still doing it. I also get access to sites that I am not trying to access. I have to manually close all the extra Firefoxes and other sites and it is very frustrating. Any ideas???Thanks.

    Sounds like you may be infected - what security are you using?

    I'd start by running a full scan with AVG or other anti-virus program.

    Have you done a virus check? Sounds like your computer has a virus to me.

    Hi,

    Hopefully someone from this forum can help you out, but may also want to check out firefox support forum.

    Sorry can't add a link, since I've haven't reached the post requirements yet. Just do a google search on 'firefox help' and you'll get a link

    Good luck!

      Thanks for all the suggestions. I had run a virus scan and Malware and defragged and no luck. Finally deleted Foxfire and reinstalled and that solved it thank goodness!
