Problem with Fire

#1 Unread post by slimcolo »

I tried to load a update from Mozilla last night and now I keep getting this when I try to open Firefox, any sugestions.
I have tried dumping Firefox then reloading. I can't seem to do a sys restore. and AOL is now connecting to internet when I turn on puter, without me opening.


Unable to connect













Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at en-us.start.mozilla.com.








* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Oh no, I thought you were having a problem with your bike catching on fire!

Do you get the error on any page you try to go to? Like if you type in www.google.com does it give the same error?

Where did you get the update from? Sounds like you managed to find yourself a nice virus.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

To scan for spyware, click on the link below. It's a program called "Spybot". install it, update it, run a scan, remove problems and then immunise your system.
