    Seems the casualty in my computer is FF no longer works... currently using IE...

    THX for replies...

    BTW: Win7PRO/64 is the OS...

    Edit... as long as I am at it...
    Anyone have recommendations for a thumb drive scan program... will load it on a thumb drive from a different computer... and boot run it on this one.

    THX much!

    My FF is working fine. I use superantispyware and malwarebytes. There should be no reason to delete FF.

    If you get the red screen, click "Ignore warning," and then at the upper right of the warning bar that drops down, click the button on the right that indicates the site is not an attack site.

    THX TB... wish it were that simple...
    FF refuses to respond at all... as soon as it is opened (does not matter how it is opened... from a link or from the menu)... it locks up. Tried to de-bug it... cannot get into it to do so. Have run Malwarebytes and ESET twice, with reboots... nothing helps.

    Thinking to delete FF totally, then clean up the box, then reload it. Fresh load might work better.

    Awesome! No more red screen of death, and emails stopped going to the spam folder.

    It sounds like you have additional problems. A new install might be good in your case.

    The spammer and what was wrong with the site aren't related... that we know about. Can't find a correlation between the two.

    Thanks for letting us know... Beenthere handled him swiftly and all his exploits.

    Thanks Robb and everyone else involved. I saw the warnings on Tuesday morning and stayed away until they disappeared.
