on startup there is a file named firefox.exe, about 5700k, when firefox is started there are 2 firefox.exe files, the second about 60000k, if the smaller is terminated, firefox works fine, otherwise the computer hangs

Mozilla Firefox, safe but slower than IE or opera

If you have two Firefox.exe running you probably have a trojan called Poisonivy. It's bad news. It can be used to tunnel into your system, keylog, copy files & change settings. Do yourself a favor, dump Norton & grab NOD32.

Best Browser Ever.

It is a copy of firefox.exe in memory, which start itself, without user(my) permission by dllhost.exe(??), and forcing my CPU to 100%! If you try to close it, it starts again and again. My firefox.exe(orginial Mozilla Browser) isnt in run or on any other startup, and i didnt start it by myself, spyware terminator dont recognize it as threat, neather NOD32 2.7, but based on my experience as an programmer, it's some kind of fake_name.exe service! Any explanation??

I have a process with that name, I end it manually and it starts again by itself. It's different from the web browser. I don't know where it is to delete it.
