Sometimes the page was stop loading when using Firefox and caused IE the same problem. I had to restart Firefox so that the problem was fixed. I noticed a suspicious line located at Firefox status bar that said "Transferring data from tongji.baidu.com..." but it didn't show at IE status bar. Is my Firefox hijacked by Baidu? But I checked there were none of any Baidu add-ons installed in my Firefox.

Hello erik8mzl, you can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Please try all programs because each on detect different malware.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Also check in your win 7 Programs, if something related to Baidu and delete it, go from : Start button > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Uninstall if you find any unknown program.


thank you
