Receiving Popups in Firefox Trojan Virus found, System Warning.... every time I close or dismiss another pops up. It indicated it was from McAfee at first, now includes websites I removed from Notifications... I scanned via Webroot 4 times now No threats found, None removed.... So I shut everything down and rebooted. Came right back up.

I am afraid to log into anything including email but I need help ASAP!!

Hi there,

Most likely, these are just dirty websites sending notifications. Unless you follow the links, there's no direct threat.

To disable notifications:

  1. Click the menu button Fx89menuButton and select Settings.
  2. Click Privacy & Security from the left panel.
  3. Scroll to the Permissions section.
  4. Click the Settings… button next to Notifications.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • For every website you don't trust, select it and click the Remove Website button.
    • Click the Remove All Websites button.

For more details, see Web Push notifications in Firefox.
