Firefox has a virus attached. I download without an anti virus program in place.I now cannot remove current version of mozilla 3.6.3 from my computer. I've tried =control panel= add and remove programs nothing happens. I have all kind of problems trying to open mozilla and it constantly freezes and almost ever session displays restore session box. I would like to be able to remove this version and download again with anti-virus in place. I am new to using a computer and a lot of what I do is trial an error but I have always been able to add &remove programs. Thank you

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I downloaded
