    heres my problem (zonealarm is on)
    1. i start firefox,the homepage is www.google.com
    2. it says please check the name and try again
    3. i disable zonealarm n restart firefox,n it works fine
    4. next i get some internet explorer windows poppin up (ive actually uninstalled windows IE)
    5. when im off the net,i suddenly there is a process in my system called iexplore.exe
    6. it starts suddenly n turns off after a few seconds..
    7. ive had this problem before,i ran some antispyware stuff..n solved the problem,but it keeps on coming whenever i use the internet..

    Have you tried AdawareSE and Spybot S&D? You should also get a good Anti-Virus and do a thorough scan. A second opinion never hurts. Once you've done all that, I recommend getting a better browser. IE has abysmal security, and it isn't very standards-compliant anyway.

    All the best,

    No, IE is integrated in the Windows GUI, so you can never be rid of it without switching OSes. Sorry, I didn't notice that you said you were using Firefox, good show with that.
