466188 2006-06-27 20:29:00 Well, I have fixed the problem.

My Anti-virus program just updated itself and detected a backdoor trojan in the file C:\windows\system32\nvcpl32.exe which is a driver file from nVidia. It ran a disinfect (deleting the file) and after a reboot - no firefox started up.

So somehow my nVidia driver got infected with some trojan and that was trying to access the net..... random.

Interesting how a driver file from nVidia had a trojan in it. Where did you get the file from?

I ran a scan on the installation files from nvidia and none of the original files contained the trojan.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\klogon.dll

466192 2006-06-28 05:27:00 klogon.dll is a part of Kaspersky Internet Security 2006.

So should be fine to have loaded.
