Firefox Desktop issue,

McAfee malware has entered the Firefox browser a couple of days ago claiming viruses have been detected & requires me to click on their popup to remove it. Additional warning follow and reoccur every couple of minutes. I don’t have McAfee Anti-virus software on my computer & have not installed any new software for some time. The anti-software I have works fine (Spybot & Microsoft Security Essentials) and detects no problems. The first application I initiate upon boot-up each morning is Firefox and that’s when the problem begins. It is somehow related to Firefox. I cannot find any processes in play.

I’m using Windows 7 Pro

Sincerely, [removed email from support forum]

I tried all six free malware scanning programs suggested but nothing found

Was this a popup on bottom corner? if so then this sounds like a Web Push Notification possibly from a site you are or were interacting with and not malware. Fake McAfee popups are among those that can occur.

Also just so you know, Firefox 115 ESR (115.15.0esr in September) will be the last to still support the EOL Windows, 7, 8, 8.1 as Fx 116.0 and later requires Windows 10/11 to run. Pretty much every other major web browser already dropped support of Win 7, 8, 8.1 back in Jan/Feb last year. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-users-windows-7-8-and-81-moving-extended-support
