Hello
I ran a full scan with Windows Security on 13/05/2023 and it detected the following inside my Mozilla folder:
Trojan:HTML/Phish.VS!MSR
Please see the photo below for the exact location of the affected files.
I'm aware that this is my fault rather than it being an inherent issue with the browser, however I would like to know if this has/could pose an actual threat to my machine?
The following article says it wouldn't pose a threat unless the file is opened, however the article isn't maintained and as such I worry the information in it is outdated: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20cache%20file%20was%20infected%20with%20a%20virus
I did open the affected file in Notepad but this was after I had already quarantined the threat. It appears the Trojan was part of: (SCRIPT001)
It's worth noting that I run a third party AV on my machine (Kaspersky Plus) and when I ran a full scan with it, prior to the Defender scan that detected the Trojan, it didn't flag any issues.
Thanks in advance for any help, it's appreciated.
