<![CDATA[Computer Nerds Wanted: Firefox's Crashing]]>Ok, so i did a system restore last night beacuse my computer was getting crazy slow and i felt it was time. That all went good so whatever..

But, after i was done and what not i downloaded Firefox and what not but found i had this 'iamfamous.dll' shit on it like no later than 10 ten mins after installing it. So i ran Malwarebytes and i though i got the problem solved. I guess not seeming as how Firefox will just randomly crash for no reason on certain sites. Iv ran countless adware/virus/Trojan sweepers and its coming up with nothing.

So...anyone got any suggestions on what i should sweep it with, or what you might know what the problem is. I can post up some logs if someone wants.

PS. this is mostly directed at Jim or someone with equal computer intelligence...

I got rid of most programs i didnt need. Backed up my important files, and pictures. Then partitioned and reloaded vista. Then bought kaspersky anti-virus. scanned the computer. found 14 trojans in my old windows files. removed the virus. went to disc cleanup and removed the old windows version file which was like 15 gigs. And bam it was fixed.

There's a lot of stuff on that machine that isn't stock windows... you may or may not need it.

Personally, I do not use any anti-virus software on my machines. AV software, video drivers, and IFS (installable filesystem filters, like AV software) cause the majority of bluescreens on windows. If your machines are firewalled or behind a basic SOHO router with NAT enabled, that is a very good start at practical malware resistance. All you have to do after that is not click "yes" on anything, ever 🙂

On an XP machine, you should download IE7 and you should download Windows Defender, both from Microsoft. Even if you don't use IE, the IE you have on the machine may as well be IE7 instead of IE6.

editing you registry key will do nothing at all, they will be changed again upon reboot. deleting reg keys will do thing, so will deleting files.

Correct. During the FF uninstall it'll give you the option to maintain the FF personal data. The other option is to export your bookmarks - uninstall - and import your data back in.

It's not an antivirus website per-say but it identifies other potential issues.
