I did not do a good job of spell check sorry. I reset firefox, because it was slow and crashing. That was what was recommended in the help.

The next time I started my computer and every time after that, I get a datamn~1.exe error.

I do see a firefox folder on my desktop of restore items.

Thanks

Alma

That file is malware, delete it, its a part of the DataMgr malware.

datamn~1.exe

SCAN WITH ALL PROGRAMS BELOW.

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