    Default Advice needed

    Hi, I have recently experienced freezes when I start downloads on Firefox. Should this be of any concern to me?

    Hello Limskj,

    Please give more details.

    Firefox version.
    Operating System.
    Previous to when the issue started was there any event such as installing an add-on, update or other software.

    Best regards.

    Sorry.

    OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
    Firefox Version 3.6.10
    It started recently after I downloaded and installed some add-on content for Microsoft Train Simulator from a German Website

    Hello Limskj,

    Do you have an up to date anti virus program installed?

    Had you visited that website before?

    Hi Limskj,

    Thank you for letting us know.

    FYI be aware that if the computer has an infection system restore will not remove it.

    Best regards.

    Yea, Thanks.

    I restored from the hidden partition on my laptop. It restored to factory defaults.
