Re: [Simply Computers] Re: Firefox issues

 

Hi Roger,

I have tried another browser (internet explorer) I am getting the same
results. All of my anti-virus are up to date I am running Avast free
version I also use SuperAntiSpyware free edition. I ran Avast it picked up
nothing . SuperAntiSpyware however picked up 188 tracking cookies which I
quarantined. But the quarantine did not fix one of my issues.
