I haven't clicked on the virus announcements, nor clicked on the "DISMISS" buttons for fear of installing viruses on my system. How can i remove them?

If these are small popups on the bottom right corner of Firefox windows then this may just be web push notifications from sites you have allowed to send you notifications. Instead of useful information, some may send you junk, spam, fake virus/trojan alerts etc. You can revoke the sites from sending you notifications as shown in second link below.
