Factual Questions
1

I always used to use internet explorer, then about 2 months ago I switched to firefox. Now, all the sudden, when firefox is open pop-up adds will open up in internet explorer. I have the pop-up blocker in explorer set to maximum, and ive run several spyware removers. Is there some way to stop this from happening? it only happens when firefox is open. thanks

I have had this exact problem for over a year. Hope someone with an answer stops by.

If pages in Firefox are causing pop-ups to open in IE I’d check two things.

  1. spyware, which you’ve done.
  2. That Firefox is set to the default browser.

Goodluck

Check that Firefox is default browser for .html and .shtml.

You don’t have the IETab or IEView Firefox extensions installed, do you? I don’t know if it would be relevant, but it might be worth knowing.

There’s a very bad piece of spyware making the rounds, called Vmonde that has these same symptoms. The only tool I’ve found effective in removing it is Vundofix . You might want to give it a try.
