| 463263 | 2006-06-15 08:36:00 | Can anyone tell me why my Firefox browser starts up by itself after my XP Pro Toshiba laptop boots up. I've checked the Startup file and the MSConfig startup list and they both come up clean of Firefox. Can anyone shed some light on this. Taa.... Newteach |

| 463264 | 2006-06-15 08:49:00 | Sounds a bit dodgy. I would suspect that something is trying to go online. Does it open a webpage if you are connected? | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 463265 | 2006-06-15 09:32:00 | Have a look in the startup folder for the particular user you are as well as All Users startup. Otherwise maybe malware as said by previous poster. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 463266 | 2006-06-15 11:43:00 | Yeah thanks have tried those ideas....has me stumped. Thought it might be Vista beta 2 download trying to continue by itself but I've got rid of it and it still starts up what ever browser is the default. Is really annoying now...am going to get the HiJack this prog, does anyone know of a site where these can be read ? Ta again for the help people. Newteach |
