You have a deeper than usual infection since Kaspersky, Malwarebytes & Ad-Aware can't even remove or detect it. And I can't find a removal guide for "rover" when I google. The people at those forums do good work. Post your thread link here when you've done it and I'll follow along.

You could also try scanning with Windows Defender but I'm not very confident it will find the virus. But it's worth a shot. Also update Windows Defender's virus definitions first before scanning. They're most likely very old.

Many thanks for the speedy response and the subsequent advice.

Thanks again

No problem Stuart!

Also make sure you read steps 6 & 7 here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/34773/preparation-guide-for-use-before-using-malware-removal-tools-and-requesting-help/

It's very important you attach those logs from the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool to your thread over there. It will help them troubleshoot your problem much more quickly. If you're already doing that then sorry! Just making sure. :D

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

• https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Thanks for the reminder - I looked at the step by step instructions and decided to delay doing it until I had a little more time. I have now done it (I think) and edited my opening message. Thanks again.

Thanks for the response. I haven't yet had the chance to try this out but it does sound promising. I wil read the info. from your links and give it a go. Thanks

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

• Microsoft Safety Scanner
• MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
• Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
• AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
• Hitman Pro
• ESET Online Scanner

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one. Windows 8 has antivirus built-in already.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
