That message is from one of your protection programs. It thinks something it trying to change your settings.

How do I get the protection program to stop sending the message?

window pops up that asks if I want Firefox to make changes to my computer

I misread your post. Did you just install the browser or an update? Firefox would only make changes at that time. No other time.

Thank you!

I reinstalled Firefox because it was frozen and I couldn't get it to work. I've been getting the popup message that asks if I want Firefox to make changes to my computer.

Hi

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator. You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab. Make sure all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

• Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
• "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected

Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder.
