Hi,
It's possible those sites you're visiting are bad. That streaming category is one example of those that criminals use to lure users to enter trapped websites. Please send me site address in private message. In general, we don't support acts that contain copyright violations. That means if the site isn't legit you're visiting it with your own risk.

Ok followed you instructions but now every time I go to up Firefox, I get an error message? What did I just do to cause this message and how can I fix it? I Just want this message for Firefox only to go away.
I have attached a screen shot of this message for you to view.
This error message came after using ATF Cleaner.
Hi,
To play it safe I recommend to uninstall Firefox (including its profile too) and then reinstall. Let me know if the message still shows up after that.

I unistalled it and no joy there. What do you mean it's profile?
Oh and by the way: ATF also deleted spybot. Had to reinstall that, too.
Oh now I know what the profile is. Erased that, too and still the same message.Originally Posted by druboyks
Hi,
Answer yes to that UAC message regarding Firefox. ATF Cleaner won't touch other than temporary items. I don't think it removed Spybot.

Fantastic news, did a system restore and that fixed the error message. I did however reinstall spybot (I am sorry to argue with you on that point, but ATF did uninstall it, at least on my computer it did) and so everything is back to normal. Won't use ATF ever again...learned my lesson the hard way.
