Hi, It looks like the profilesmtn1fh8 is corrupted, I would suggest you to quarantine the profile and check whether the issue still persists. As far as the message that you get ‘Iam not busy fo’ you may ignore it as it might be some offline message or someone else’s status that is shown, but for the systems security you can run a full computer scan on the system and check for the infected files using Microsoft Security Essentials and then quarantine the files.Microsoft Security Essentialshttp://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ Thank you and Regards.

Hello, i have run a full scan via MSE and I also ran windows live onecare safety scanner. All scans came back clear.(the only exceptions were a handfull of registry junk and temporary files) Seeing that this..... smtn1fh8.default......appears to be the source of this drama....is it feasible to uninstall and reinstall firefox?Kind Regards,Brian.

@Thahaseena M,Brian has a malware removal thread that he started here - Exploit:swf/cve-2010-2884.c Microsoft Security essentials....I clicked. I should not have. Fake MSEHis system has been compromised by a Rogue version of MSE. If there is corruption with his Firefox profile it was caused by malware that accompanied or was downloaded by the Rogue software.The correct Answer for this thread is that this is a self-inflicted infection caused by the User installing Rogue "antivirus software".
