I keep getting notification from firefox that I need to download mcafee that I have a virus I have all ready done a mcafee removal did no have it to start with can not use fire fox as it continues to give me the messages that wont stop i have turned off notifications but that isn't the answer I have malwarebytes and windows virus protection what now.

I've purposefully used the environment variable to disable the security sandbox.

How can I acknowledge and hide the persistent warning? Is there any about:config value for it?

Thank you!

How do I stop pup ups with several different warnings. At the top of ALL popups say Mozilla Firefox . I clicked DISMISS, then another one will pop up. 1.) Red shield with the word Warning! Click here to secure device! anti virus notification. 2.) Red and black shield say Virus found. 3.) Blue Windows symbol with a the yellow triangle and !, Click here to remove it 4.) red setting wheel, Trojan virus detected, Scan and delete your system.

Please help

I don't know whether I can trust three warnings I've recd, ostensibly from Mozilla Firefox: -Attention Click here to secure your data. -McAfee: 3 viruses found, Hard drive is infected! Remove viruses via ...(but I don't have a McAfee account) -McAfee license has expired. Click here to stay protected online? via ....

I have run MalwareBytes (basic free account) and it found nothing.

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to myccp.ccp.edu. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

I have received 3 system alerts, all from Mozilla Firefox (I use Firefox as my default browser). 1) System is infected!---click on d45n9f8ko90s738b610.gsx-protect.co.in 2) ZEUS.2020 Trojan detected--with same directed site 3) System Alert!---with same directed site.

I use McAfee as my security system. They recommend going to Firefox settings and disallowing random site connections. How do I get my system running again.

Latest McAfee scan shows 45 entries deleted and 2 browsers reset

I am getting repeated pop up "alerts" from Firefox, McAfee and others about Trojan Horse and other viruses. I did not click on the links offered. How do I stop them from coming?

Pop-ups saying: "Mozilla Firefox SYSTEM WARNING! [or 'CRITICAL ISSUE' or 'Trojan Detected'] Click here to perform an antivirus scan! [or 'Click here to remove them!' or 'Fix it now!'] via d9bf06ghubcc73ddmqtg,luntrixdaily.co.in [NB: this address is in all 3 varieties of pop-up] [followed by 2 tabs] Scan Now - Dismiss & Remove viruses now - Update Windows

plus several others, e.g. "McAfee Critical Virus Alert" & "Viruses found (#)" , etc.

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?

When accessing important accounts on websites, like financial websites, I've always heard you should close your browser when you're done with the secure website. If you log on in a PRIVATE window and close the private window afterword but leave the main FireFox window open, is that the same thing? I think it is and the private window will delete any login or activity info as if you closed the browser, I just want to confirm with someone more knowledgeable before I make a bad assumption. It also seems to have the added benefit of deleting anything you might download and save elsewhere from the download folder so you don't have to delete it from the DL folder and then the recycle bin. Seems like it's good practice to use the private window this way. Again, just looking for a 2nd opinion.

Thanks,
