I got Auto Copy Enabled but now I cant highlight anything in order to copy it.

[drew2815]

I uninstalled Auto Copy, I can highlight things now. I did what it said to do in the first link, but I still cant copy things.

Not sure I follow you...

You select something, then place the cursor where you want, and hit control V (paste)

copy is automatic.

[drew2815]

ok, thanks, didnt know about the Control V thing. Why cant I open www.dogpile.com using firefox? is that a bad search engine or something? Same for www.msn.com/messenger.

I don't know....ever had a spyware infection---your host file could be screwed up

[drew2815]

could i just uninstall firefox and then reinstall it? would that reset my hosts file? Also, Spybot found this MySoft that is in the hosts file.

I had similar trouble with FireFox, when first working with it. While uninstalling and reinstalling did nothing, finding the necessary plug-in's to see the content of many web sites, while surfing with FireFox, did the trick.

do you have a link to a website that i can download a plugin that will resest the hosts file? Can you use Dogpile.com on firefox?

drew2815,

You can post a HijackThis log in the Malware Removal Forum.

I would first recommend that that you read through this first and do the preliminary steps.

Its not me first time here. I know what i am doing. Just help me with my firefox problem. I already asked my question on the Hijack this log and Malware removal forum.

drew2815,
I looked at your HJT log and it looks good.
Nothing showing in the HOSTS file or O15 entries.

Have you looked at your HOSTS file entries?

Here is a couple of threads that may clear things up.

Ok, I cant get rid of that stupid sitefinder.verisign so i will just forget about it. I am using the latest version of Firefox, 1.02. Why cant i get on some SAFE websites. I know why i cant get on some other sites, because there bad. But i cant access www.dogpile.com, the search engine, i always thought that was clean, and when i go to www.msn.com and then click on messenger, i cant access that either and i have no clue why because i thought they were safe. Please help me get a better understanding of this.

I have firefox and dogpile.com works just fine.

Are you getting an error message when typing in "www.dogpile.com"? If so, what is the error message (exactly)?
