Answer your questions at below:

  • Why you accept downloading unsuspected file from www.clip999.com that automatically change your FireFox homepage without your knowledge of that site is virus attack?


  • Have your anti-virus security protection software installed on your PC? If not, then you HAVE MISSED THE OPPORTUNITY having anti-virus security protection to PROMPT YOU a warning dialog about virus attack before download any file/site.


  • Did you enable "anti-virus", "spyware", and "anti-phish" FireFox add-on modules to protect your FireFox from virus/hacker attack? (it means to turn modules on or activated)


  • Did you get a notification from FireFox prompting you to ask for FireFox update adding new patch downloading to protect from harm attack?


  • Google it how to uninstall "www.clip999.com" removing its own toolbar somewhere!

guy what u need is a Mcafee desktop firewall installed on your system, and the latest Mcafee virus scan. with the firewal, u can simply eliminate the fucking virus, once it tries to execute its self, the firewal will alert u and all u need to do is to deny it. from there u can trace its source and eliminate it.

its simple, to catch a rat, u simply put a barricade all around it and reduce the size of the barricade until u get the rat.

call me on 08055673226, 08068978257. i can give u the latest versions of the firewall and virusscan

xpecting your call.

Install Firefox to another directory, rename the file to something different from it's default filename.
To remove the malware manually post the name of the files that are running in the task-manager, and also the name of the files in your MSconfig's startup.
