    As I stated earlier, the person who first helps you is the person who works the thread, from start to finish.

    I am not online 24-hrs a day, I work during the day and have to sleep at some point. You are not the only person I am helping. I answer threads oldest to newest, and if you keep replying to your thread, bumping it. It's just going to take that much longer for me to get to you.

    Be patient.

    EDIT:
    Your HijackThis log shows no malware. What problems are you having?

    If it is just Firefox; uninstall, reboot, and install.

    If it won't uninstall from Add or Remove look in the Windows Directory for UninstallFirefox. If that won't run; edit the registry as indicated, reboot then go back and remove the directories indicated in the directions.

    OK, your problem isn't Malware related. You should post in the Software Forum about this issue. Make sure you include the entire error messege. The one posted here seems to be incomplete.

    There are a couple of individuals in that forum, that can help you with this.
