Firefox 1.5.0.X cant copy/paste anything to clipboard – Scroll Wheel not Working
May 8, 2006
This is really funny.. My Firefox recently self-upgraded to 1.5.0.3. But this problem has been persistant since the first Firefox 1.5.0.1 release. It was really bugging me as I couldn't cut paste anything at all… Here's what seems to work…
1) Close all instances of firefox.
2) Goto c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
2) Rename firefox.exe to afirefox.exe (or any other name for that matter).
3) Start the renamed executable
Now everything works fine 
I dont know why they cant fix this at Mozilla??

You did not delte the malware virus, you just tricked it. Here is one way to delte it.
Start up regedit in Run from the start menu. Look for these things.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
called “UninstallString” with value: rundll32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\pushow55.dll Uninstall (or any pushow dll’s.)
And this.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
called AppInit_DLLs. The value was pushow55.dll.
