can't uninstall firefox
While using firefox 4 browser, I searched for a google image and (as has happened before) opened up one of those fake antivirus programs instead of an image. When will I learn to stop using google image searches? As usual, I tried to shut down firefox (which has always worked before), but this time I was unable to. I opened the task manager and shut it down there, but when I tried opening it again it reopened the closed tabs, including the fake antivirus. The next thing I tried was a system restore, which failed. Next I tried deleting all mozilla firefox files in safe mode. Same problem again. Then I tried a system restore in safe mode, but when I tried opening firefox in the newly restored system, I got the same problem again (miniturized corrupted firefox window, with old tabs including fake antivirus). Next I tried an uninstall, but that hung after starting. So I tried another uninstall in safe mode, which at first wouldn't open, but after another system restore did, but ended up hanging as well. I am now attempting to use the revo uninstaller, which has been running for two hours now. Fingers crossed.
