18. I still have this darn thing, too!
Edited on Tue Oct-21-08 10:11 AM by ancient_nomad
It is happening intermittently as you describe. I downloaded Firefox 3 this AM, and still get it. My problems began shortly after I noticed when trying to do a Google search from Firefox the results would show up as an AOL search powered by Google.

What I have found eliminates it temporarily is to close out Firefox, then run CCleaner and ATF Cleaner.
I am blaming it on AOL. I wish someone could figure out how it is doing this; maybe then we could correct or block the offender. It is soooo aggravating. I ran SpybotS&D, and SuperAntispyware and they found nothing, neither did AVG. So where it is hiding, God only knows.

I have to sign off for awhile, but will check back later today for more thoughts on this from RoyGBiv and BushDespiser12.


Edited to ask HamdenRice: Do you get the "kitchensinks" Certificate Verification too?
