how to get rid of mcafee pop ups
pop ups don't go away saying mcafee has discovered virus or trojan. I don't have mcafee on my pc. Rebooting doesn't help.

I got an email, supposedly from Microsoft with an update on its terms, from a microsoft.com email address. I clicked on it and it went to a Captcha window. Trying to click on the items (in my case, bicycles in the pictures) triggered multiple warnings that my computer was under an attack and that seven viruses were reported, and I should re-up my subscription with McAffee. I had Trend antivirus enacted on my computer, but discovered the plan was ended by Best Buy and there was no update or way to continue it. I continued to get the notices and clicking on the recommendations to run scans and update McAffee continued to trigger notices of attack. I reactivated my McAffee program, rebooted my computer and opened with Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox. No notices of attack appeared. I ran Windows Update and learned my Windows Defender was current and a scan showed no viruses. The notices of attack only appear when I try to use Firefox. I tried to delete Firefox to see if reinstalling it would resolve the problem but it only allows me to "Refresh" Firefox. What is going on here?

As summarize. Also from Microsoft and McCaffee.
They invite me to click on 'remove virus' and 'update virus proitection'

When I open Firefox I get a large number of warnings. I have run three separate scans (Norton, Malwarebytes, Spybot S&D. I have then restarted my PC and these messages re-appear.
The essages state "Warning: Virus detected" "System Alert!" "Trojan Detected!
The messages try to lead me to watrixa.co.in to Scan & fix or remove the viruses. It will not let me close these warnings.

Regarding the new built in Firefox VPN. If I have Tabs open and Enable the VPN on a New Tab, does it then affect all previously opened Tabs, only the New Tab, only the New Tab and Tabs opened after that initial New Tab, or ? Also, is there a Meter Display or similar so I know how much of the 50GB VPN allotment has been used or is remaining ? Thank you, very kindly ...-- J V

DRM nags are back ! I am very suspicious of this ! Stopping FF DRM nags yields NO search results -- but used to. Zero searchable information in the Mozilla databases. What a search for DRM nags does yield is LOADS of outrage (see attached) against FF. I am getting a VERY, VERY suspicious. Before FF tries to monetize more functions -- FIX THE LEGACY ISSUES !!! One thing after another, all week, month and year. 'Upgrades' of the browser induce panic and fear these days. "What will break next ?". You people need to look at shrinking market share and growing outrage and have a Come-to-Jesus moment ! Pawning off 'support' on volunteers is about as cynical as I have ever seen. No useful answers for weeks to many things I have posted since migrating machines to Win 10/FF 15x.
Glad I did that search ! "Back in February, Mozilla changed Firefox's Terms of Use and Privacy Notice for the worse. Mozilla removed a longstanding FAQ promise – Nope. Never have, never will" – regarding the sale of your personal data to replace it with a less definitive pledge" to "protect your personal information." Would it surprise you to know that a few weeks later, Mozilla announced that AI would be its top priority in 2025? I note that this was listed above privacy." Where the Hell is the AI Plague going to get a broken browser ? Look at those damn search results ! Gazillions of posts by fed-up users and vastly shrinking market share.
Looking for an exit now...
I was on Chaterbate while in private browsing on Firefox android. I clicked on a private room. Can't the person in that room tell who I was?

A couple days ago when I opened Firefox, I immediately started getting pop up messages saying I had viruses. If I clicked on REMOVE VIRUS, it tried to get me to sign up with McAfee. I cannot see my full screen due to all the pop up screens. My MS Defender virus protection is not identifying any viruses.

When I open my website, pvamarkets.com, I see a Cloudflare page that says:
“Suspected Malware — This website has been reported for potentially distributing malware.”
This is a legitimate e-commerce website. After the warning appeared, we completed a full server-side security check. We checked the website files, database, cron jobs, access logs, error logs, and file-delivery system. We did not find malware, executable files, unauthorized code, or signs of a server compromise.
Our website only delivers plain text files to customers. It does not host or distribute Windows executable files.
I understand that the warning page is branded by Cloudflare, but I am posting here to confirm the following:
Is this warning generated or influenced by Firefox or Mozilla Safe Browsing? Can Firefox cache an old security warning after Cloudflare removes it? Is there any Firefox security report or blocklist entry for this domain? What steps should a website owner take to confirm that Firefox does not classify the domain as malicious?
The warning appears before visitors can access the website and causes serious trust and access problems.
I have attached a screenshot of the warning page.
I keep getting fake pop-ups for McAfee software which I can't get rid of. If I close one, another pops up immediately. Help! Thanks. John Ladd Burbank, CA

Google has falsely flagged my own website. I need to disable Safe Browsing just to access it, so I set browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled to false, but Firefox Android keeps reverting it to true on every restart. I really dislike this overbearing behavior. Does anyone know how to disable it permanently?

Exact same problem as reported in 2025: "My Firefox on iPhone has a malware that pops up a box urging me to call a phone number (which I won’t do) about a payment. It has Cancel and Ok buttons, both of which trigger another box from the dialer containing the same phone number. I cannot get to the FF settings or escape from that page because the pop ups immediately come back and reload the page. " Only difference from OP is the server url is recipes33-16045505ea03 . herokuapp . com
The posted solution was to reset history, but I can't get to that or any other controls or the url bar - canceling just reloads the page before I can initiate any action. A similar post suggested installing Malwarebytes but that requires enabling extensions which, again, I can't get to.
Right now Firefox is bricked by this and I have to use Safari :-(
Just wondering if this browser have enough security

hi!
apologies if this has already been brought up. i tried searching for it but i don’t really know what to call it so i can easily have missed it.
for a while now my firefox app has hidden my open tab when i leave the app, like it previously only did in private tabs. i’ve attached a screenshot to show what i mean. is this a new privacy feature and can i turn it off? i’ve tried to look through all my settings and uninstalled and reinstalled the app (in case it was a bug) but it still does this. i used to rely on getting a quick look at my open tab while flipping through apps so how it’s now hidden all the time is really inconvenient for me.
thankful for any help with this!
