[drumbum010]

ok every time i pull up firefox i lose all my bookmarks i dont know why! and it changes my homepage too but if this has happened to you before and you fixed it tell me what you did please

Yea this has happend to where I loose whatever user its saved as (although I have only one login for this computer) After it wiped it actualy did it again and it went back to how it was months before, before when it first happend

I would run a viris scan or just a simple add removal, what does it change your homepage to?

[drumbum010]

it brings it to a firefox thing that says the new firefox 1.7 or somethin like that is out and i already have it

[BlacKwidoW!]

ok good, I was going to say if its changing your homepage to something completly random that might be some major spyware.

Yes I agree it would be a big spyware in your browser, you might wanna check out "Ad-AwareSE" I heard its a good spyware remover.

ad-aware se personal is an awsome spyware program you can download it here...

here (http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5)

oh and as far as firefox goes... make sure there arn't upates for sequrity that you need to get... the firefox bookmarks that you start with are still there right?... go to them and look for updates that might help.... or try uninstalling and then reinstalling the program....

Spy-Bot Search and Destroy is also free that I use along with Ad-Aware

http://www.safer-networking.org/ you can get it there

That sounds cool, maybe I,ll get Spybot Search&Destroy

Best to just try Microsoft's Windows Defender beta 2,
Which Windows Defender (Beta 2) is a free program that helps you stay productive by protecting your computer against pop-ups, slow performance and security threats caused by spyware and other potentially unwanted software. It also automatically updates itself and microsoft's program has been given 2 thumbs up from several companies' reviews.

If problems still continue for you I suggest you unistall the firefox and reinstall it.
