I have a download of FCKeditor that at one time I downloaded, but now it keeps automatically downloading by itself almost everyday. I have sent an email to FCK, but they claim I must have a virus. My virus checker runs automatically and has not detected any viruses. Is there a setting on fire fox that would block this download?

When does the download start? When you open Firefox, or when you open a specific page?

Everytime I open a new page on firefox I get to downloads for the onlt 2 downloads I have ever done on this computer. I bought the computer yesterday and only installed firefox 3.6.13 and windows themes and everytime I open a new window both of these downloads appear is there a security setting or something?
