Bye bye bye

Spyware killed my Firefox. Everytime I used it, I'd get these annoying IE popups that would then crash Windows. I lost all my bookmarks three times and then couldn't even add new ones.

A few days ago I downloaded Opera and no problems. No more IE popups, no more Windows crashing, etc. Now I'm sad since it really does seem that the problem was with Firefox so I can no longer use it.

Opera seems good but it doesn't have Adblock (which I can live without) nor a spell checker. Without a spell checker I feel like an addict now who has just gone of drugs cold turkey (I find the LJ spell checker useless and of course instead of fixing it they give us crap we don't need because seriously I love you guys, but I could care least to get an email everytime you upload a new icon to your account).

I feel like Subaru right now.

Yup, tried to get rid of it. I'm not giving up yet though. I'm going to leave Firefox off my computer for a bit and after about a thousand scans try again.

Spyware: It's like Nilie, you get rid of it, think it's gone for good and just when you think everything is okay, it comes back and bites you on the ass.

Any anti-virus and anti-spyware can't help me from those caoming with ff.net ;_;

Tips: search for bwishsite.exe (or bewishsite don't sure of spelling) I had to close process after process to see which one cause my PC down as well. And that one is the one I found out. Stupid ff.net + spywares -_-'
