My first post--sorry if there are any errors....

A bit? LOL.
Thanks for the info. If it was posted before, I missed it. ;-)
I use FF and just disabled Grease Monkey ....
How does one go about do that ?

Thank you very much for posting this!!! I just started having problems with my laptop a couple days ago. The word “greasemonkey” in your post absolutely jumped out at me because that is one of the popups that keep occurring. It’s shut down my system restore, won’t let me access MS sites, among other problems. Still trying to figure out how to fix it if if won’t let me download anti-spyware from MS. I’m afraid at this point I may have to reinstall the OS.
Just left click on the monkey icon and it will either be bright or go gray ... when gray it’s turned off. Never figured out what it’s for. A friend just loaded me up with all sorts of add-on’s from FF ....
YES, how do you do that???? Thanks for your help to us Firefox users!! :~)
Tools > Add-ons > Greasemonkey > Disable button
Just left click on that monkey face and it will go gray, or right click and you get a little menu. Click on where it says “enable” and the little check mark will go away and the face will turn gray .... not sure what it’s used for ...
Thank you, I’ll try that. This is the first time I’ve ever had a problem like this. Very frustrating. I had downloaded McAfee from Comcast and Windows Defender and thought I was safe. So much for “thought”!
Never knew there was a problem - my problem now is how to sort my bookmarks so they’re in alphabetical order. The previous version had a place on the drop down menu where you just clicked it and it sorted. Now that’s not available and I have a pile of unsorted bookmarks at the bottom of the list.
I don’t even have greasemonkey in there so Im goood i hope thanks
I’d just like to be able to be online without all kinds of popup windows every two seconds! Not to mention my computer going to a blue screen where it says stop error must shut down to protect computer!

In FireFox go to TOOLS, OPTIONS,CONTENT and click on BLOCK POPUP WINDOWS ....
NoScript + AdBlock = Happiness.
wow.. amazing how they can prattle on about something without actually mentioning the offending file names or a way to identify whether or not your system has been compromised.
again, quality reporting by the press...
