I am using Windows 7. Internet Explorer and Chrome work fine. I know this relates to certificates, but The one Firefox is one created by Fiddler and it had name DONT TRUST. I deleted it from Firefox certificates but each time Firefox keeps finding it. I have validated the websites certificate. How do I get Firefox get rid of this certificate and get the right certificate?

I have removed all new installed programs including Firefox including deleting folders in program files, but when I reinstall Firefox the problem is still there. I would think that this would work, but Firefox must be getting info from something on my computer.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
