I suddenly started getting a flood of messages informing me of various security risks and that i needed to click a link to sort this out. Needless to say, I DID NOT click any links. I am only getting these messages when I open Firefox. The messages all link to "securebotshield.co.in". I ran Malwarebytes but it does not pick up anything. I am running the latest version of Firefox on a Windows 11 machine. Please can you help me get rid of this menace?

Thanks

Hi I bought a PC with McAfee on it, but it had expired.. I use s different anti-virus which is much better. But they have started chasing their subscription, and warning me of viruses which don't exist. I have tried to block it through Mozilla permissions section but couldn't. It sits in the bottom r/h corner of the screen, blocking any chatbox that uses that bit of screen. I can't get rid of it. Can anyone help? Ken

Very often while navigating around the website of a tool I use, I get an intrusive pop-up in the lower right corner. A screen shot is attached.

I first approached the website owner, but they explained it's a browser issue, no a website issue. They did, though, suggest that clearing cookies and cached might help ... But it didn't.

Is there any way to suppress that?

I'm using an out of date Windows 10 laptop. I am aware of the Windows 10/11 thing. I know. I've got my own reasons for not updating this one, it's not my only device. I get it. I understand. I know. My settings are how they are on purpose. I do not need to be nagged in this fashion.

How do I turn this off? I can't find it in settings. It's not appearing on any of my other browsers. It's just Firefox. Please help, it's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance.

I just received a toast from a sidebar app. Unsolicited notifications are the fastest way to get me to dump your app. I recommend Mozilla implement user-level control to disable notifications from sidebar apps. In theory, Mozilla is already supposed to be respecting my preferences on notifications. I have authorized notifications from only one website, and it wasn't the one for which I received this notification. There's a disconnect there.
