Firefox pays off

[Jerk]

I finally get to surf around without that dam*ed mother****n' cpvfeed virus opening up windows and redirecting me to some stupid website.

I installed a fresh copy and disabled Windows Explorer (I had to do that or it would still pop-up!)

The add-ons are cool. I haven't had a pop-up yet.

I couldn't rid of that stupid malware thing. Not Ad-aware, nor AVG, Nor Hijackthis, nor Virtumonde could remove it.

But it's gone now.


If it comes back I'm going to beat my head against the wall.


Whoever invented cpvfeed should be shot.

My favorite add-ons:

Adblock - blocks pop-ups, but gives you a light yellow stripe where you can unblock the pop-up if it's one you want to see.
BBCodeXtra - I love this one. This board makes it easy to use BBC to tag text to make it bold, italicized, act as a link, put it in a quote block, but BBCode can do this with a right click of the mouse
ForecastFox - adds weather info to a toolbar of your choice in your browser window.
FoxyTunes - lets you control your music player and see the song title and artist playing now without leaving the browser window. Very very nice. Probably my favorite add-on.

Jerk-
If you still have problems, download and run Hijack This. (http://www.tomcoyote.org/hijackthis/) You can post what it finds on their message boards and the guys there will find out if anything is running on your computer that shouldn't be. They really helped me out 3 years ago. (http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13790) Good luck.
