Hi abuaufa, Well do you have any idea of what you did? Can you do a system restore for right before you made the changes? Edit: Also, usually, you can open up the browser and go into the options area of it and choose "use as my default browser" or something similar (I have all of those browsers except Chrome) so I can help you find where this might be if you'd like.

That's okay , I understand what you meant now that you explained it, but yeah, since it isn't actually an error message, and of course wording it like that can be confusing to others if its not really an error message. Yes, I see that someone else posted something similar.

Well Andy that doesn't really look like an error message to me... just the protection module working I would re-post this in the False Positives forum so that someone can check it out for you along with a sample of the file being hit zipped up & attached to your post: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showforum=42

Trafalgarman211068, Well was anything with the name Virut/Sality or TDSS rootkit found? If so, those are nasty infections. The first requires a reformat and the latter can be cleaned but has backdoor functionality so the machine can never again fully be trusted so a reformat is recommended. Are you still getting any IP blocks? I also highly, highly recommend that you visit the malware removal forum as suggested by a few other people prior in this thread.

@ YoKenny1 hehe I've watched a couple MythBusters, but I guess not enough, hehe. Ah! I've seen that movie but it's been a while and I don't think I got to finish it.

Oh. ::blushface:: hehe

Uh, I must be missing something here, totally unclear on what C4 is?

Personally I do not like them pop tops. I usually find them harder than using a can opener and sometimes the dern thing breaks off awkwardly when you are trying to pop it off!

I have cut myself at least once opening the dern things. Not to mention that they are extremely frustrating!!! I even had to throw out a ring of shrimp one time because I couldn't get it open in time. I squirted myself in the eye trying to open it too!

That is correct, Malwarebytes cannot be run from a USB drive or a CD. It's setup file & rules.ref can be saved on a USB drive or a CD as noknojon outlined, but not run from them; Malwarebytes needs to be installed on the PC in order to work.

http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?s...st&p=246926 You didn't reply to AdvancedSetup in your last HJT/Malware removal thread...

Thank you!!!! Chicken noodle soup is SOO good I need to have some soon. I'm feeling better - just got a sniffly/runny nose currently

:)

This is so bizarre! I'm glad that its seemed to be cleared up now, though.

Hmm. Did anything else occur, such as any system changes, around the time it stopped working?

This is really weird. Hmmm. I logged into my Hotmail on a Vista recently w/ Firefox and had no issues. When did this start and for how long has it been happening?

Hmm, I don't know, but that might be it! If the .net Framework needs an update, you should update it. Are you talking about an update on .net framework for your machine though or for Firefox? I've disabled any Firefox plugins with .net framework assistant in them due to a past-reported security issue with them. I haven't upgraded my Firefox yet but when I do I'll post back here and report. I am waiting another month or so before I upgrade. As 3.5.x is supported till August of this year, I am not concerned about upgrading quite yet.

Awesome picture, YoKenny1

Catscomputer, I didn't catch that before! You are indeed right! Malwarebytes does NOT detect tracking cookies.
