I only use 3-5 tabs at a time. But if you let them run for 4 hrs and try to have several conversations on FB chat it locks smooth up.



Lol the other day I got a call from a friend.
Her. Sidney I think my computer has a virus.

Me. Why?

Well it( I assume vista) gets really slow and then locks up

ok. What antivi you got?

Avg


Hmm. That shoulda caught it. Ok boot in safe mode. Uninstall AVG and install malware bytes and let me know what that finds.

Several hours later.


Sidney it's still doing it.

What did the scan find?

Nothing

Crap. Ok I'll have to come take a look at it.


Her. This all started when firefox was downloaded.


Wait this is firefox that's locking up?


Yes.

When it locks up just close it and reopen. All will be back to normal. Wish you had told me the firefox thing 3hrs ago.
