Hello and thank you for looking at my problem.

I recently cleaned out a problem from my computer here, and now I have a bit of time to sit and play with it.

I think that Adwcleaner sees some things as problems that actually are not, but it does take out the nasties.
My opening page to Ebay now had lots of ads being thrust upon me. (At first I thought it was just Ebay. They are constantly changing s^*t. )

So when I did sit down to it, I thought I might have to go into the F/F Options, to fix a few of the things that got deleted during the repair process. Which I did. (Im using F/F 21. on Win Xp Pro SP 3, on my tower. It has a Pentium 4, 3 Ghz with 2 Gig of Ram.)

And that is where it all went wrong.

There was a list of websites that had exemptions and I didn't know what the websites were.
So in my prudence of cleaning up, I deleted them.

The result was no better..... in fact worse

So I tried to restore it to an earlier time. Picked the recent one and reset. No joy.
I tried a restore point 2 days earlier and still no joy.

I took a picture of my opening page here that has the top banner in its correct position but the lower half (body) has moved 3/4 of the page to the right.

I dont know how THAT happened, nor do I know how I might fix it.

Any suggestions you might have would be most helpful.

Thank you ImnoGuru.
