    Why is my firefox asking me to use Open With? It should open auto. I can't even open webpages without being redirected, how do i remove this virus?

    Yeah I would do that as a first attempt to solve the issue. Could be an EZ fix.

    try this.. found on yahoo answers.. never tried it.. might work?

    once you get into Firefox do this:

    1. Click the Tools->Options menu item.
    2. Click the Advanced page.
    3. Click the General tab.
    4. Check the "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser" checkbox.
    5. Click the Check Now button.
    6. Click OK.
