since I've tried it - nothing but problems. My system was (surprisingly for Windows) stable and clean before Firefox. Is there a list of which registry entries Firefox makes during install - could be a time for some judicious Mozilla deletion in regedit! From the list of currently installed programs, select Mozilla Firefox. Heres how to create a new FF profile in Ubuntu: Close all running Firefox. In the Control Panel window, click the Uninstall a program link under the Programs section. mozilla/firefox/ in your home directory, should it still be there. Click the Windows Start button or press the Windows key. The risks reported are "medium" - ie cookies etc, so it's no great threat, but I'm wondering why the Firefox folder is still locked when I have uninstalled Firefox with the uninstall utility. Close Firefox (if Firefox is open): Click the Firefox menu and select Exit. They report succesful deletion of the infections, but then record an infection when I run another scan imediately after. I have tried logging on with a different user account to see if this made any difference, but the folder is still locked - access denied, unable to delete.Ģ) I am using the anti-spyware programs you mentioned - these were the ones which flagged the files. Note that you may need to manually get rid of some Firefox files and folder that havent been removed the uninstall wizard.

I also have full Administrator priviledges.

1) Yes I have enabled viewing hidden files & folders - otherwise I would not be able to attempt the delete.
