When I logged on to my laptop this morning, it appeared that my Firefox was updated. I immediately was inundated with pop up alerts from McAfee. I checked it and learned it was a scam. However, my husband thought it was legit and allowed them to do a scan!!!! He didn’t download any software. What do we need to do?

(I did see the solution to stop these pop ups and have already resolved that issue. I’m just worried that some party scanned my laptop.

I'd never seen a Windows Security prompt when attempting to view saved passwords before, so I was confused when I saw it for the first time recently. I have a primary password set within Firefox, and I never enabled "Require device sign in to manage passwords" in settings. I also cannot disable this setting without entering my Windows password.

I was alarmed that this may be a malware symptom, as I'd recently connected to a new public wifi network. Is it a known issue for this setting to become enabled by itself? At the time of this issue, I was running 150.0.3. I have since updated to 152.
