I use FireFox browser sometimes but mostly use Google Chrome. Recently I had "Freecorder" toolbar on FireFox but didn't like THING seemed like spyware or something and was playing ads even when there was no ad visible on whatever site I was at but this thing was playing audio advertising and really annoyed me, besides the software was buggy anyway so I WENT into Control Panel and uninstalled it. Image my surprise the toolbar was still there even after UNINSTALLING! >:/ So I went on Google and found others had the same problem and was told a method to get rid of t he toolbar, which seemed to work.

However, today I tried to go to this site here:
http://prettynailfashion.blogspot.com/2011/05/berry-blast-off.html

and found my browser HIJACKED and sent to some sites that WOT blocked (luckily). I haven't experienced this before so I don't understand how this happens and it's really aggravating. I don't THINK it's the site because that doesn't happen when visiting that site on Google Chrome.

How do I find out how this is occurring? Do I have more spyware on that browser or what?

I have Dell laptop with Windows 7 (64bit) and Microsoft Security Essentials (updated already and running fine that I know of)

Thanks!
