    I have upgraded to Firefox 3 today, and suddenly cannot access sites like Myspace or Google Search.
    I can access Google title screen, but cannot search.

    I'm getting no errors in the consol, so I don't exactly know what to do.

    It's because I have a very very very bad virus now. All of a sudden, I've gotten 193 Blue Screens of Death, and one blue screen had an error.

    I don't know what a Dropper is, but it's pretty nasty.
    Can anyone explain what one is, and how to get rid of it?

    I tried Deleting the dll file through Safemode Command Prompt, but it was gone as soon as I got back on. So it's hidden.

    Don't you have an up to date antivirus program?
    I got a link to a Symantec(norton) . There are a lot of information available, as well.

    Nevermind, I just backed up all my useful files and reinstalled Windows XP.
    Thanks for the help though, I'm not much of a Norton guy, I'm Avast.

    Good!. By the way, I have never been a Norton guy. It was just info.
    I use AVG8. I tried Avast, and even with its present wackiness, I prefer AVG.
