This problem started this morning on one of our computers (HP). We have antivirus (NOD32) and malware (Counterspy) on all computers.

On a different thread it was suggested that the add-on CoolPreview be deleted. I just tried it and it fixed the problem for me.

My firefox (v. 3.6.3) changed to sirenfox too. What's up?

We have a report of this issue on an XP workstation sp3. However, it is affecting Internet Explorer. Firefox is not installed on the PC so I doubt it's solely a Firefox issue.
