Done all the regular spyware Virus Trojan scans, done malware scan's and checked for any changes via spywareblaster to my broswer prefs, nothing found.
Everytime i click the keyboard shortcut to open firefox it opens up with vh1.com ....
Can't find any hijackers on teh pc or anything so completely stumped on this one. Personally never heard of firefox having it's broser hijacked, and by a legit website too!?
Any ideas or suggestions?
[opening firefox with my other personal shortcut is fine. They allwork from the same .exe file so i cant understand this one bit]

...what?!
Just realised I haven't read the keyboard shortcut bit so can't be what i said...
And get a grip. Hijacked by VH1 indeed. You'll be needing a foil hat to give your paranoid rambling more credibility
Unless.......the mullets of vh1 have broken free.......
are you high again?
Softworld .. I ment press not click. Evrytime i press the keyboard shortcut to quicklaunch Firefox.
I've never been high in all my life.
I'm like this sober
have you tried remapping the keyboard shortcut to see if that fixes it?
It might help yes. When VH1.com pops up from the keyboard shortcut what browser is it opening with?
as this thread is discussing, id say Firefox
Hmm. It seem's .. for now anyway .. that it is fixed. The keyboard shortcut now opens what it should and not any link wo vh1.com.
I'll see what happens.
I cannot honestly say to be honest. I didn't *do* anything that i had not done already.
I bet now i've said this it will come back.
Now i just need to get a fix for my other problem found in this thread.
