Firefox problem??

Options
I've had problems with FF for the last week or so.

It crashed one day and ever since then I can't stay logged in to MSE. I sometimes have quite a few snap links open and when I want to thank or comment, I have to log back in to MSE!! Very frustrating!!!

Anyways, now when I try to open it, it tells me that :
This application has failed to start because sqlite3.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.


I've tried to uninstall but my laptop tells me that I'm not an administrator (its MY laptop and only me - sometimes OH - uses it!!) When I try to right click and unistall as an administrator, nothing happens!!


Earlier today, I had to system restore as it said the computer had shut down incorrectly. I shut it down properly so don't know whats going on!!

Anyone help please??

    Possibly infected

    Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD NOW')
    http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
    UPDATE and FULL SCAN
    Post the log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds


    reboot

    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    Click DO A SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE (Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

    depends

    is it scanning files or just frozen?

    It was scanning files, but then Windows decided it would install updates and restart computer, so am now running the scan again!! Grrrrr at windows.

    Will a quick scan suffice or does it have to be a full scan?

    I've had problems with FF for the last week or so.
    Could be Firefox related, I've been having problems ever since it updated to 3.0.8.

    It got so bad it wouldn't even open in Firefox "safemode".

    I uninstalled it, removed every trace I could find and re installed, seems better, but still have the occasional crash.
    Move along, nothing to see.
