No URL loads, just opens a blank page

0

I guess this is a virus or hijack program. I have now Firefox 18.0.2 installed. The problem is: no URL is loaded, Firefox doesn't show any warning, just a blank page. If I enter an URL in the address bar, it loads for a very short time (too short), but it just opens an 'about:blank' page.

I have reinstalled, deleted all browser history, restored the factory settings, entered safe mode,.. But still the same. It might be something in the registry, but I have no clue as where to look.

Did anyone encounter something similar?

Thanks.

Do your other browsers work correctly, or does no browser load webpages at all? – Marcus Chan – 2013-02-07T05:39:34.487

@MarcusChan yes, other browsers work flawless. – acriel – 2013-02-08T08:34:26.937

@CharlieRB might be the only solution. don't know how my folks got the virus, but it's darn nasty. – acriel – 2013-02-08T11:12:44.133
