antivirus labeled as malware WSReputation from firefox setup stub 46.0.1.exe. Where is it from and what should I do to get rid of it?
Symantec antivirus quarantined WS.Reputation.1 as malware, and indicated the file name as firefox setup stub 46.0.1.exe. It was found in downloads, so something downloaded from firefox. I want to know what it is because I may have transferred it to another computer that doesn't have Symantec via a memory key. My other laptop uses Windows Defender antivirus so I want to know if there is a risk. So if I have to get rid of it, please tell me in very simple language the step by step removal procedure Thanks for your help

Steps for malware removal. If you are a simple PC user, feel free to skip step 3. This should deal with the infection.
1. Install and run RKill to kill malicious processes and services 2. Check your Programs and features and see if there are any new recently installed programs that you don’t recognize. If there are, remove them. 3. Check your task manager for any suspicious processes, if found, identify folders and try to remove them manually. Or just "Win key + R" and type %appdata%. Afterward, delete potentially malicious folders. 4. Do a full scan with anti-virus software of your choice or use Windows Defender to clean up initial infections. 5. Scan your PC with Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes, and AdwCleaner. Multiple anti-malware solutions will confirm that the threat was removed.
Thnx for your reply. Can u tell me where to get RKill? Where do I find Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes and Adw Cleaner? Are these add ons by Mozilla?
These are not add-ons, but standalone applications.
Try running the applications and see if that yields results. If that is an issue, you can read more in-depth about the matter below.
Some protection programs don't like the update/install stubs. Go here for the full installer.
