Thanks for reply pal, I clear history, cache, cookies on a regular basis not cured it yet m8

Ive found your link while searching, the clean reinstall reads complicated pal... Ive actually done a total reinstall which made
no difference so I will re-read the thread and try that..

got to be a common website as its now on all three of my machines

Try ripping out Firefox altogether - get rid of any saved settings, too - and download
the latest version from Firefox-dot-com to make sure so you're starting afresh...
...if you haven't already done so.

It's a virus Dave, but it can be removed. Have a look here?

Have you thought about changing your browser?

Thanks Mick, I downloaded the spyhunter and run a scan for 3 hours

then said I had to pay $25 a month before it will clean so Im giving the other cleaners a go now.

The only thing that I have in common with my other machines is the Thunderbird email program which Ive been using since 'Live Mail' has stopped being supported....
and doing the normal updates, windows, java etc but they have been installed for months now so as yet im ferked if i know where its come from
ill let you know what I find mate

Ive got Chrome running along side as well with no probs but Ive been using firefox for years and its still my preferred browser pal.
Id still like to know where it came from tho even if I bin firefox ... dont like bugs in any of my machines tho especially on my desktop as all the important stuff gets done their...

Ill post up how I get on

...Yeah... Here ya go...


...Have a ride over there, ya fookin heathen...

Hi Oldbull, You might like to try "Spybot, search & destroy". The basic version is free. & its helped me get rid of unwanted Trojans etc. on more than one occasion. You may also like to try a program called " C C Cleaner ". It will clean the registry on your Laptop or P.C. Hope this helps, regards, Sircular.

Ta mate, I will give them a try if the these cleaners dont find them
