It was fine up until last night when a virus was detected in my firefox again. So I repeated the same thing I did before. I also downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials. My brother begged me to stop using anything else, that this is really good for detecting viruses. Well I had windows security shut off again. This time I didn't have firefox reinstalled because frankly, I don't trust this browser anymore. It didn't pop up into my IE either. So I was about to repeat the same process again but after I did a Kaspersky scan in safe mode, it didn't detect a virus at all.

I just got through doing a full system scan with Microsoft Security Essentials and no threats or viruses were found. I'm beginning to think that this is an issue with Vista.
