Paul I just assumed that you had PCbugdoctor.
It's a very simple programme to find, but quite handy.
Now that I've had it a while, I use it once a week and I'm lucky if I find 1 or 2 errors.
As at first I thought it was a joke as it sorted over 400 errors on my computer in record time.

I did notice a few things started to open quicker, like Outlook Express, Mozilla and Messenger.
It must repair something as when you run it every week you'll hardly see any error.

Firefox phishing vulnerability discovered

A newly discovered flaw in Firefox could allow cybercriminals to take advantage of Web surfers
A vulnerability in Firefox could make users of the open source browser more likely to fall for phishing scams.
The flaw in Mozilla Firefox 1.0, details of which were published by Secunia on Tuesday, allows malicious hackers to spoof the URL in the download dialog box which pops up when a Firefox user tries to download an item from a Web site. This flaw is caused by the dialog box incorrectly displaying long sub-domains and paths, which can be exploited to conceal the actual source of the download.
Mikko Hyppönen, director of antivirus research at F-Secure, said this bug could make Firefox users vulnerable to cybercriminals. "The most likely way we could see this exploited would be in phishing scams," said Hyppönen.
To fall victim to such a scam, a Firefox user would have to click on a link in an email that pointed to a spoofed Web site and then download malware from the site, which would appear to be downloaded from a legitimate site.
This flaw was given a severity rating of two out of a possible five by Secunia.
David Emm, a senior technology consultant at antivirus company Kaspersky Labs, said it is unlikely that phishers will take advantage of this exploit in Firefox because Microsoft's Internet Explorer still dominates the browser market.
"I think it's unlikely that we'll see hackers rush to exploit this vulnerability," said Emm. "After all, Firefox has a much, much smaller install base than IE and it's likely that hackers will continue to pay more attention to [IE] instead."
This may change in the future as Firefox has attracted a lot of interest in the past few months. A survey at the end of November found that Mozilla-based browsers, including Firefox, accounted for 7.4 percent of browsers in November 2004, up 5 percent from May.
The download vulnerability has been confirmed in Mozilla 1.7.3 for Linux, Mozilla 1.7.5 for Windows, and Mozilla Firefox 1.0. No solution is available at present, but Mozilla developers plan to fix this bug in an upcoming version of the product.
The Secunia advisory and Mozilla bug report are available online.

i just run the bug doctor had 44 errors. but it did not find the 66 registry errors that i had as i run the bug doctor first corrected the errors. then run a reg scan and it found the registry errors. so like spyware apps it seems that you need more than just one app to clean things up

no m8 this was a new installdamage said:
Just out of intrest have a look in task manager to see if its running .
Then you could try uninstalling then delete the profile manually C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox. Before you un-installl, make sure it is not running in the background by checking the Windows Task Manager. Then try to reinstall . there may also be a issue with trojan guarder gold if you have that installed on the lappy ?
