    I have a new omputer, less than a week ago and was unaware that my antivirus was not activated.I opened firefox last night and WOT warning sign was. I closed out and opened it again and the same thing happened, I did notice it was a google message. I uninstalled and reinstalled and reinstalled firefox, the same thing happened. I restored my computer, the same thing happened. I uninstalled google and firefox, I reinstalled firefox, the same thing but firefox kept opening one time after the other. I have a Dell Studio (64) wirelee (DSL). This only afffects firefox. Appreciate your help.

    WOT means Web of Trust, it monitors web sites for security.
    I reinstalled google and now my computer seems to be working fine. Will leave unresolved for a couple days just to be sure.
