I did a google search for what wight was and i clicked on a link that had a picture. well then poof up pops red page says was blocked by my security. then pops up saying to download updates. i try to x out but don't. I pulled my wireless connection out so when hit ok wouldnt do anything. It then said this hxxp:// antimalware-updates .is .com/firefox-updates/ ff_secure_upd.exe as page it tried to load. Is it legit or a virus itself.

Thanks ecasbas and thanks Tony e. I figured was fake and Firefox didn't update when on a page like that. Glad pulled wireless connection out when happened.
