Default Does my computer have a virus???

Well I was used to using Mozilla as my web browser, but all of a sudden when I click on it or try to start it up on my computer it doesn't come up, it always looks like its going to start up because it shows me the loading mouse icon, but the program never launches. I tried removing the program and downloading it again but that didnt work. So right now I guess I have to use IE and I dont really like it because with Mozilla I had removed all the advertising on web pages. Any ideas of how I can get it to work again?

Thanks

Just a quick shot in the dark, did you restart your computer after removing then reinstalling Firefox?

I do know that sometimes doing a restart does wonders for problems.

download malwarebytes, and/or superantispyware they will get anything off!
