DO NOT ACCESS THAT FILE ! ! Malware ! !

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

If you saved the fake firefoxpatch.exe to disk, Do Not run this .exe as it will infect your Windows potentially with the nasty CryptoLocker trojan.

It is not a Firefox update.
