    Hi KEVIN4344,

    My crystal ball is a little foggy, post a HJT Log and maybe we can find out….

    Download TrendMicro HijackThis.exe (HJT)

    • Double-click on HJTInstall.
    • Click on the Install button.
    • It will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe.
    • Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
    • Click on the Do a system scan and save a log file button
    • Hijackthis will scan and then a log will open in notepad.
    Copy and then paste the entire contents of the log in your next post.
    Do not have Hijackthis fix anything yet. Most of what it finds will be harmless or even required.

    2OG

    Fix entries using HiJackThis

    Launch HiJackThis
    Click the Do a system scan only button
    Put a check next to the entries listed below (if they still remain)

    O9 - Extra button: BitComet - {D18A0B52-D63C-4ed0-AFC6-C1E3DC1AF43A} - res://C:\Program Files\BitComet\tools\BitCometBHO_1.1.11.30.dll/206 (file missing)



    IMPORTANT: Do NOT click fix until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now
    Click the Fix checked button and close HiJackThis

    Let me know if that takes care of the problem?

    Hi 20ldgeek, thanks for replying.

    Sorry for delay in getting back to you I have not being well.
    Did what you suggested but it had no effect.(thanks anyway)

    Started mozilla in safemode deleted all extentions.
    this fixed it.
    I thint it was some p2p program was causing the problem.

    mozilla now starts faster and cleaner.

    thanks for trying
