When I go to FF home page an update screen opens up for Express Files Updater, requesting me to update. Is this part of FF / Mozilla and should I update? Thank you for help.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
