Firefox Problem

In a recent attempt to clean up some malware, I ran ATF Cleaner by Atribune. Ever since then, Moxilla has acted weird. When I go to excite.com, I don't get the same page anymore. I get a pretty bare page with some links to news stories. I have to type email.excite.com to get what used to be excite.com

Also, I'm not able to send emails through Yahoo Mail. The body section of the page is gone, I only get the To and Subject lines.

Can anyone tell me what's going on? Aside from using ATF Cleaner, I also changed the restore points if that matters.

 

reinstallation of the mozilla browser application could help

 

Before you do that, try clearing your Firefox cache: Tools > Options > Privacy, under "Private Data" click "Clear Now".

This sounds very similar to a problem that used to occur with CCleaner if you ran it while Firefox was open (it no longer happens with that program). Firefox sometimes fails to shut down completely, so it could occur even when Firefox was not supposed to be running. Check the Task Manager, Processes tab, to make sure no Firefox process is running in the background when you're going to run that cleaner.
