A pop-up screen often appears when I use Firefox. It says hat I have a virus and that I need to call a phone number to remove it. It claims to be Norton,but I doubt that it ts. I have attempted to remove this with Microsoft Defender, SuperAntiSpyware and Trend Housecall but none of them work. Can you help me?

Are these as small popups on bottom right corner of Firefox windows? if so then these 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 or fake virus/trojan alerts. You can revoke these sites.
