I get a notice that I need to update my Yahoo search even though I have enabled the automatic search engine update in Firefox. Is this of concern?

This comes up on my screen shortly after powering up my machine. Is it of concern and should I allow it to update even though my Firefox settings include automatic update of the search engines I have available?

How is the message sent? A pop-up?

. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org {web link}

You can report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery
