After turning on my computer the first application I utilize is MS Outlook and upon selecting an email a panel displays 'File Download' and proceeds to open a Mozilla Firefox session with multiple tabs reporting the notation 'file:///c:/Documents and Settings/....' This is very frustrating as I have to frantically close each tab and unsure whether this is a virus or a systemic problem.
