Hey everybody.
I will try to explain myself even if this is a tricky one and even if my English is not that good.
Since some weeks, firefox is having issues. It gets stuck while opening new tabs with blank screen and with "looking up ..." written in the status bar.
I assumed that it was an issue with the DNS's since it looked like firefox couldn't resolve IP addresses. What was strange is that Internet Explorer or Opera worked perfectly in those instances. I remembered that an update of firefox was applied days before and I therefore assumed the problem was firefox.
After many searches in the firefox official forum, it seem that the problem was SpyBot search and destry.
I therefore uninstalled spybot only to find out I didn't have the restore point saved. I therefore unabled all the immunization, and the resident and just uninstalled from the control pannel.
My problem is that it is still happening every now and then. Not as often as before but it does happen.
Now then, my question. Is there a way to disable what spybot does at lower level manually ? I obviously made a mistake not creating a save point for the restore feature BUT I have been using spybot for years now without issues at all.
Also, as anybody else seen this problem already ?
I run vista 32 bit (updated and stuff), all firewall settings are fine and I used the latest release of spybot available.
Thanks a lot and please help me not switching from my beloved frirefox.
