Maybe also a security issue?

Hi, When my PC starts up, it automatically starts up Firefox with 2 recaptcha tabs. Nowhere have I set anything to startup Firefox (not in Start menu). Also, nowhere have I got a recaptcha-bookmark that I saved. How can I get rid of this or find out what's going on? Thank you, greetings from the Netherlands, Joop

When looking thru the system startup, check every entry. Not just for Firefox. This could be because an entry is calling a web link. Or, one of the startup programs is doing this.


Firefox starts automatically when I restart Windows {web link}
