we received a pop-up that firefox had crashed - we clicked on start a new session. ever since then it has become impossible to do any type of web search. no matter what search engine we use, or what we search for when you click on a link, you are redirected to a totally unrelated site. it is not always the same site - they vary, but are never the one requested - please help!!

Some toolbars will change the usual Firefox search, but they would usually be consistent in steering you to the same site.

Your PC may have contracted some malware. You can supplement your regular security software with these two highly regarded scanners:

Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/

Find anything? Some additional clean-up might be required in Firefox settings as well.

i am scanning with superantispyware now - and i hope it works, this has been going on for several days now and it's really frustrating. i'm no computer genius, and i dont use my computer for anything heavy duty, but i really need it to work

ok - that didnt work afterall - the scanner found multiple things and 'cleaned' them and i restarted the computer and it still does the same thing. is there anything else to try?
