Error with Firefox, and using Run command

1031982 · 2nd Sep 2007, 02:35 PM

Ok, I get an error when using either the Run command, or opening an external shortcut to a web site when Firefox is default. Screenshot is what I get every time, except that if I enter something like www.microsoft.com, the address changes.
It still opens it, but I have to click OK, and then close the Run box is used. Anyone know what I can do here? I am working on a fresh install currently of EVERYTHING.

Looks like some spyware got removed and left that error message.

I would have taught the same thing, but this is a fresh install, of XP, Firefox, everything that I use on my PC is newly installed.
If I tell IE to be the default browser, it's fine. But Firefox gives that message.

Ok, it was the Google Toolbar add on causing it.
Thanks anyway!
