I got an email from a friend that has a link with a virus on it. I had no idea because I talk to that person all the time on email.

I immediately shut down my computer because it looked like it was downloading something, and it didnt let me shut firefox.

but now everytime I open firefox it leads me back to that page with that download is there anyway I can clear that history so it goes back to the main bookmarked page wihtout opening firefox?

Indeed, the Hardware forum does software as well, and you will be noticed by a lot more virus experts there than here. I'm closing this thread, and you can re-post your question there.
