Hi I have just installed Firefox on Win 10 and keep getting this message below each time I install from Kaspersky Total

I have uninstalled and installed 4 times now and keep getting the same

I have used Thunderbird for years and is great, I also have never had any problems with Firefox until I installed Win 10 from a clean drive

This is what I keep getting within a shrt few hours of installing it and then vanishes off my desktop and have to install again

How do I overcome this problem as I hate the Microsoft Edge in Win 10 ?

I don't know Kaspersky, but it looks like something about the Firefox shortcut on your desktop bothers it. C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Mozilla Firefox.lnk Remove the shortcuts.
