Alright guys-I need your assistance: I am able to get into sites like google, yahoo but unable to search-all I get is the cursor turning into an hourglass and it never changes. I get the same deal on torrent seach sites. Anyone ever have this problem? This didn't begin until I upgraded to the new Firefox-but I also have a 14 year old nephew who downloads stuff off of Limewire-could I have a trojan? a virus? Anyone ?????

Uninstall the new Firefox and see if that does it.

what antivirus do you use? i use avast antivirus, it's free and i use it only because it was able to find a trojan on my computer that my pay program norton antivirus didn't find. i've uninstalled norton & have used avast since.

i use avast as well no complaints at all.

I'd use avast
Then I'd use Adaware (for spyware)

Have you tried using a different browser (Opera, IE, Safari)?

Good luck.

This is by far the best combined antivirus/antispyware program I've ever used. It's excellent.

You could download a trial version and run a scan.
