offers4u virus attached to firefox download
after trying to download the 2015 Firefox offers4u attached to every aspect of it I have removed Firefox and tried to reinstall multiple times with the same result. I can no longer use Firefox because of this problem and I am sure it is not attached to my computer as I have no problem with "explorer" , Only with Firefox. I enjoy Firefox and want it back but not willing to risk offers4u spam adds blocking everything I do it needs to die a horrible death Just not in my computer. Thank You Philip DiR.

There is no such thing as a Year version of Firefox. Where did you download Firefox from as some search engines have questionable Ad links for so called Firefox downloads above the Real search results.
Firefox for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux from www.mozilla.org/firefox/all is completely clean as it does not come with extras like this offers4u virus you claim.
en-US Firefox Setup 35.0.1.exe from www.mozilla.org/firefox/all gave Detection ratio: 0 / 57 https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/d96424c58d8fd181679487aa92640e1f02c0ac0e19ff7315cbd91c2a8d60cee9/analysis/1422864435/
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
