Also install Spybot Search&Destroy and click "immunize" after you update it.

Well uninstall Firefox or ant browser and then scan your PC then install them again. Maube this could help. Also try Avast boot time scan for this bit(h.

Yeah tried all anti virus but nt any spyware but only av detects is norton but it does removes it but aftr sometimes it again reappear

try scanning your pc. also delete your current firefox profile and create a new one.

better option is to unistall firefox completely, run a registry cleaning using ccleaner of something and then install firefox 4. Is it fixed?

its probably virus or adware. ^^ do what others are saying. you can use glary utilities to clean registry.

ya i have tried all above stuffs including revo uninstaller and last ithing is left is to try with ADWARE OR SPYWARE OTHERWISE i will have to format my drive

1. Uninstall Firefox completely
2. Delete all the temporary files.
3. Search and delete if there is a folder named "Mozilla Firefox"
4. Clean your registry files with Ccleaner.
5. After all this scan your drive with a good antivirus.
6. Download a new Firefox again and install Firefox

If the problem still exists then your idea is good format you drive.

If nothing is working, best way is to format the windows installation completely and reinstall.

cud u give an example when it happens.

Btw Westbyte is official website of IDA.so u must have installed IDA along wid the toolbar.
just uninstal the toolbar from add/remove programs
I cant see any toolbar of it in your browser.

whn m sufging facebook or digit site or any othr sites suddenly it redirects saying(in pic
) and next thing i see is westbyte site

Bro didn't everyone here told you that its a virus problem and you have to scan your PC for viruses and if there is no good in that then you have to reinstall your OS.

If no antivirus is able to remove the virus, then before formatting you may want to try out the online scanners and see if they can help you.

Otherwise go for Reinstall

Try this.

Well, you got two things left to do...
1) Download MalwareBytes Anti Malware (from some other computer or a different browser) and run a full system scan and remove all the Viruses

2) Reinstall Firefox using Revo Uninstaller to uninstall it. After that, if the error still persists, you better reinstall your whole windows.

reinstall the windows..... it will be best

guys thanks for ur replies but recently aftr installing zonealarm trial it didn't redirectd me to the site till now even though it didn't showed any threat !it's like 1 week!!!!!!!!

Download and instal Malware Bytes Antimalware. Do scan with that.
Many infections will show up.

maybe the hosts file is changed/infected?
