1. Rebuild your Firefox profile. This should fix the issue.
Ok
2. Uninstall Symantec AV and ZoneAlarm, this will protect your computer.
Less AV and less firewall = More protected?
I'm aware they create a false sense of securty for 0days and bespoke code,
but I think you are full of *** if you think that their removal improve
security.
All code has flaws. However, a software firewall (even with possible
vulnerabilities) is certainly better than a core o.s with NO firewall and
AV.
Don't believe this fool - get multiple AV's installed, then be careful what
you browse and open.
3. Stop wasting your time with all kinds of scanners for a problem that
could hardly be related to malware.
I may be related to malware. It may not. Searching for it, and not finding
any (since it may slip under the radar) is certainly not a futile excercise.
Malware is detected more times than not. That's not to say you have no
malware, just that you have a higher probabilty of finding it if you look
for it.
Not looking for it, is akin to sticking your head in the sand.
Search, but always remain a liittle sceptical that nothing found does not
always equal nothing present.
Do not take this fools advice of no protection and no looking to keep
protected.
