I tried 3 browsers with the same results. I just downloaded the AVG virus protection program and ran it, clean. I did a full McAfee scan, clean as well.
I hope when you installed one, you uninstalled the other! It's not recommended to run more than one anti-virus program :?

And dupeguru
@hartpaul,

EDITED SINCE ORIGINALLY POSTED!

WARNING! DO NOT use the first link in @hartpaul's earlier post to the dupeguru site, which he thought was a software review site but actually linked to various malware stuff. He has subsequently edited his post and added the proper link to the software at the bottom of his post.

But yes, I do also recommend Treesize, which I have also used for years.

I agree, especially when one of them is McAfee, which is the one that I would recommend be uninstalled.

Wow; thanks. I downloaded and installed that. I'm not sure if it has anti-virus features; I gather it's okay even if you have other anti-virus software installed? "
Belarc isn't an anti-virus software, just a computer analysis software which does a very in-depth analysis as you'll see as you scroll through all of the results and information that it returns after it scans your computer. So it won't conflict with any anti-virus software.

I haven't liked McAfee, either. AVG is fine, though very bulky, and getting more and more difficult to control; a local person suggested Norton (which I used many years ago); I'm finding it okay.

Thanks Joe for picking that up. I just looked at that page briefly and as an example review of the program. I have corrected my post and given the correct download link in my post.
Always when preparing to download, hover your cursor over a link and check where that link leads. This is especially so in email links and forum post links.
Many of the strange links have lots of numbers and odd characters or sites that have nothing to do with what you are trying to download.
You can test this out on any of teh softonic link pages - filled with false links.

So, to answer original (first) post.

I found that recent Firefox v58-60 is not good at all, especially for Corel's on-line help. If you also use some AdBlock.. extension it will not run properly at all. Those Ads blockers are quite agressive... 8)
