copy profile out first, then try a clean uninstall and install, replace profile

>>347173
it's possible

if you notice other symptoms, it could become a problem

and yes, try a scan with MBAM, then get MSE (free)

Fuck this shit

Tried yours first because sleepy, I copied my profile and...it all came back including the update checkbox, didn't even need the backups but good precaution as always.

I've heard good about mbam, would that work fine if the pc is supposedly compromised?

And I thought mse was rubbish or is >>347194
correct about paid ones for paranoid people?

I liked karpasky when it was running, blocked me from stupid shit many times unlike when I was with avgn years ago (felt like I actually had to learn self control and manually hit the scan button to actually have some effect).

Cheers to you both

im malwarebytes reccomendor. mse is absolutely terrible and microsoft has recommended against it. in various tests they almost always come up even,the main threat to you is windows without updates since not even antivirus will protect against certain things. at least use 8 for extended support.
if your pc is already compromised antivirus wont do anything if the malware is good, it embeds itself into the system. if its just shit like putting a miner to run at start then it tends to be easier. in fact even not using an antivirus you still won't just randomly get a virus in most cases. in the future do the cache clear. 2 clicks and firefox restart vs uninstalling it.

ah, thank you

yes
