Let me explain. This morning my virus protection said I has a medim PUP and I should remove it. So I ran Malwarebytes and sure enough I had said PUP so I removed it using Malwarebytes. I ran again and was clean but there was some funny things happening I couldn't explain. I was trying to load the XI page and the top half of the page was blacked clear out so I shut Waterfox down and restarted it and the same thing happened so I right clickedn and told it to block whatever was causing the problem. Immediately it cleared up but then and now when I go to face book the attached is all I get and can't for the life of me understand what the hell happened! Please would someone help cause it real irritating to have to switch browsers just to go to facebook! Awards

Best uninstall and re-install it

Best uninstall and re-install it Or get Chrome. I have had no issues with Chrome and it's also fast. Warface 1 Awards

I seems that I had to uninstall some stupid adware and stuff like that that as is the case so many times are piggy backed with other software you really need, I have even seen where the unwanted programs are installed even when I unchecked the boxes to stop them from downloading! So beware of free software! Awards

So beware of free software! yea its good practice tho if u install programs that want u to install other ones and u uncheck the box so u dont install ...to go check add/remove programs..to see if it installd theim after u install the original program..thats what i do..so there is no issues that i might have to figure out..but nice work on the fix bud..
