    Hi
    Please help. I think I have a virus. My Firefox and ie crash and close all tabs when I search antivirus in Google.Even when I try to access the virus section in boards it crashes.

    It's more likely that some sort of config error or rendering error within the browsers themselves are causing the crash, rather than a search-aware virus crashing your browser.

    Go to firefox website and download the latest installer. Then uninstall firefox completely. Run ccleaner to clean out any old registry settings and temp files.

    Reinstall firefox and see if the problem persists.

    Obviously, you should also have an up to date anti-virus program installed (I use "Avast home") but there are loads.
