Im using foxfire to post this right now and so far no problem. Except it seems to be a little slow??? Maybe because its my first time using it and it gotta load all the image.

yeah. it has its own cache of images, and it will speed up a little. but now run your anti-spyware programs. should clear up a couple permanently. also, try this one.
