Hello all,

Yesterday I pressed to download a file and I was immediately prompted with the message that it could have a virus, thus I haven't downloaded the file.

However, everytime I open Firefox, I get the same exact prompt (see attachment) which is kind of a nuisance. I tried clearing it several times using the "Remove from history" and I even deleted all my download cache, but it keeps showing up.

Can anyone help me remove this once and for all?
