im just preemptively assuming that the mods wont let the post be up if that 'bleeped' out word is typed...
so i just got avast again -full version- after having gotten rid of the garbage program again for about a year or something , to see if it will be able to scan to find a virus that would be potentially causing my dinput.dll contains an error error which is preventing me from launching most of my programs , and a couple hours after i get it i suddenly get this add on firefox that i never installed or even seen before called unisales or something that's spamming my browser with adds everywhere , at the time i thought it was an infection so i was like ok good i'll let avast do it's boot time scan and everything will be fixed hopefully
so now the next morning i get on and find the dinput.dll error isn't fixed , and my browser is still being attacked by adds , i take a look in avast's browser cleanup and find that unisales in the list of add ons in my browser , of course i realize that was the cause of the add problem so i remove it , then go on firefox , and it's still there , so i remove it from firefox's add on page , then go back into avast and find it there still as well , thinking it was some left over info that avast is seeing i click to remove it again , and then suddenly the only thing in the add on list left is avast's shity idk wtf it does add on for firefox , and then i go into firefox again and sure enough EVERYTHING is gone (thankfully my session remained even though session manager was gone now)......
so is there any way to restore the lost add ons or for firefox to remember what it recently had for me to get them all back? i only remember about half of what i had......
(also if anyone knows how to fix this dinput.dll error too that would be @#$%ing great as of course im always the only person in the world to ever have problems like this and none of the few suggestions i did find for registry/dll scaning/fixing programs have worked......)
