Second tab opens every time when FF opens and intermittently as long as I have FF open. These tabs always what me to save Registry Repair software. I have tried to back track the sites in the address bar but to no avail. One lead me to a bot site that was not available, the second lead to an adult dating site. Ran virus check and anti spy ware with some malware that was removed but it did not change anything.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== about three weeks ago

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
