Same Firefox problems, but I think my popups are fixed.

Only other thing i can think to try...
Tools / Options/ General/ this is where you can select your Start Page...try changing it to another page temporarily, close down all FireFox windows and restart FireFox and see if it works.

BTW which extensions do you have installed ? ? Some are known to bang heads with each other and cause odd things to happen.

Well that worked correctly, strangely enough.

I have ForecastFox, Gamefox, Fasterfox, Greasemonkey, and IE Tab. The thing is none of those caused any trouble before, until the virus thing.

Oh, when I turn off the computer it tells me something failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down. I can't get the name since it passes so fast, but it's a sign of a trojan, right?

Congrats !

Well we got there finally.
Just think too how squeaky-clean that machine is now...( no extra charge since we had fun)

The only Extension you mentioned i'm not familiar with would be GameFox...

Other than that you should be good to go.

seeya,

No, I mean I can change my homepage but I still can't save bookmarks or start up maximized.

And I may still have trojan problems. My IE has ads, and stuff I open with IETab, but not my FF.

DLoad and run Ewido....grab the updates before you run the complete system scan.
I'd suggest running it in SafeMode with System Restore dis-abled...
