Firefox tab pops

i've fixed the autoplay problem! yay! i used the autofix tool from microsoft. =D

as for the firefox problem, another symptom appeared. when i login to gmail, the site refreshes without stop even before it reaches gmail.

Try Micosoft's fix:

Try AutoPlayConfig (I like this one)

Also, do this:
Start-->Run-->Services.msc
Maximize the services Window
Scroll down to: Removable Storage
Double click on it
Change the Startup type to Automatic
Start it
Close Services Window

Test Autoplay again ! (you may need to restart - not sure)

Edit:


Damn just when I got all the info

well, the good news is on the firefox that the new version comes out this week so you will be uninstalling -reinstalling anyways. The other thing is to uninstall the update or check for more updates (kimsland can tell you how to find and delete the previous update)

I am just going to list all your problems on this page:

what updates? the ones from windows?

yes just the most recent one that seems to be causing problems. but I would do this as a last resort

i seem to be having no problems again with firefox. ill keep watch

did you uninstall that update

nope, i did not.

the update contained numerous items, ie7 security updates, microsoft updates etc.

i don't know which to uninstall if i were to do it.

i did delete the application.nircmd in spyware doc though, and fixed the autoplay problems. might it have a connection with fixing the firefox problem?

possibly, I think there was a conflict somewhere with your security and combofix
