Using Foxfire and McAfee, ebombed, uninstalled, redownload gets error: Foxfire Setup Stub 50.1.0.exe contained a virus and was deleted. Help?
I have used Foxfire for a few years as default browser, always updated. I have McAfee Internet Security. Recently, a window popped up and locked me out. It displayed- Microsoft blocked connection, call immediately. I had no control with keyboard or mouse, so I cut power and rebooted. I was able to browse again temporarily, then same thing happened. I uninstalled Foxfire and tried to download and install Foxfire. Each time I get error: "Foxfire Setup Stub 50.1.0.exe contained a virus and was deleted." I have scanned my system and found no problems, yet still can not download Foxfire. My XPS L702X has Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit system. I am not very literate, so please explain in detail any suggestions. Thanks.

Some antivirus clients still occasionally give a false positives with the small Firefox stub installer even though the stub has existed since Firefox 18.0 and the antivirus companies should have learned by now. Yet the antivirus clients have no issue with the full offline setups.
Btw it is Firefox and not Foxfire which is a fungi or the movies.
