FireFox is going cray on me! It is like

Firefox is filled with malware and viruses and Google Chrome, which I am now using is OK?

The last SpyHunter scan I did found a few hundred malware but when I clicked to fix it it only removed some and left 151. I guess I should run it again.

Please Help!

They are two competing browsers. I don't know how that would happen. From where did you download it? I downloaded the latest Firefox yesterday directly from Firefox and have had no problem.

Whenever someone asks me about a computer problem, I always ask if they've scanned with MBAM.

Apparently I had a virus or maybe something more. The funny thing is my "o" key was sticking and after removing the virus it types fine.

I'll run SpyHunter later.

Thanks all!
