I appreciate the information and suggestions. I never had the View Point media player, to my knowledge, but the Add-on was in FF, sure enough, though now disabled. I have been having all kinds of trouble, Spyware Doctor and DoubleAntiVirus installing but giving the message that they failed to initialize...well, I won't bore you with it all. I decided that Ravencajun was right, and I needed help from a specialized forum, so I posted on LandsDown, which I think Zep recommended to someone else here. Today, I discovered that something (not me!) had changed the location for my downloads in FF to "Downloads," though I had it set up to download to the desktop. Ulp! Zep: Googling trojan Hiloti was one of the first things I did after Spyware Doctor discovered it in my computer. SD said you had to pay if you wanted to remove the infected files, so I did, but no matter what I did after that, I couldn't even get it to scan again, and the registration number they emailed me, while it sufficed to register for an account at their site, was consistently refused when I tried to register the software. So far, PCTools has not replied to my emails about SD, but perhaps I haven't given them enough time. Very disappointed. The SD icon in the systray also caused TrendMicro Internet Security to hang and the mouse to freeze, so I removed it from startup, but it came back later. So, thumbs down from me to Spyware Doctor. I hope they return my money!

marie- I have four browsers installed on my computer: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome. None of them interfere with one another, even when several of them are simultaneously open. I don't know why you are having some of the problems you describe, but you shouldn't be worrying about having to choose between Firefox and Internet Explorer. They are each discrete programs, just like Word or Notepad are discrete programs. Something else is going on here, or you have accidentally made some unintended changes to Internet Explorer, but it should have nothing to do with having two browsers installed.

Try this: Type about:config in the address bar. Then, if needed click the "IÂll be careful, I promise!" button. Next, in the filter box  type in: tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent Right-click that about:config entry, and select "Toggle" This will convert Firefox back to loading opening a new tab from a web page on the far right of the tab bar, rather than right next to the tab you opened it from. To switch back, follow these same steps and toggle the "false" back to "true". The above procedures come from the link below. HTH.

I had megga troubles with IE on my Win 7 computer all of last week. Finally installed Firefox and everything seems to be working better. I'm afraid that old computer might be telling me something. I need to get my computer cousin down here. There are 4 computers in this house. Why do I worry they will all go down at once? I would rather clean the toilet and the oven than get a new computer and operating system. My computers are networked and I save things on each of them especially for back up. I used to use synctoy but I won't any more. It doesn't work like it used to and creates more problems than it fixes so I just save to each computer from which ever one I'm working on. That way I have it 3 times for sure. I've been having download failure at familysearch today. Is it me or is it them?
