If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware then such a message is likely a scam and you should NEVER respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.

  • only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
  • plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.

Hi   !
May not be necessary,   but better safe than sorry :

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently   -   if one program misses something, another may pick it up.
