Had Firefox on when clicked on a "Quick Care" scan. Up popped a "Turn off Firefox" box. I clicked off Firefox, and the scan proceeded. It finished, and I went back to Firefox. "URL not found- error 404". It's my window to the internet, and I'm obviously still on the internet, so it's working that way. But I like the Firefox page, not an error message. Suspect this is simple, but I'm capable of bogus clicking leading to no internet. Thanks for any info getting me on the right track- Mike
