The crashes really look like DOS attacks, cause sometimes, days on end, when I don't visit these websites everything is fine, but when I do visit them, then suddenly I get dozens of DOS attacks within a few hours.

We would love more recent reports but we're afraid that if we author them ourselves people will focus on looking for evidence of bias. @Ann Froshaug: Those comparison reports were authored by third parties (the most recent by a technology reporter for the Washington Post).

It is not in add or remove programs and I have not found any related files at least yet. I have found no way to remove it and it is a fricken pest.

I was unable to X out, nor minimize the screen. The system repeatedly tried to install something called Install.exe, in order to as it said it wanted to installed better security programs. I rebooted my system and again Firefox did that same thing, so I assume that this all means that something in Firefox files has been infected. So I removed Firefox from my desktop. I know that this is probably not the Low Risk Denial of Service in Firefox problem, but would someone advise me if these symptoms have been seen before, and if I can safely reinstall Firefox without a recurrence.
