I restarted FF and didn’t get the message.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I’ll keep my eye open for a similar event...

Do you have a virus protection software on your computer? If so, which one, if you don’t mind saying?

[Jack Hydrazine]

A couple of great and free anti-malware pieces of software are

Malwarebytes’ Anti-Maleware
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

and

Super Anti-Spyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/

Download them, update them, and run them. It’ll get rid of them very easily.

Which version of FF are you running?

[Calvin Locke]

...it is so blatantly annoying that I don't know what they think they are accomplishing.

Perhaps attempting to drive traffic to another browser?

[Liberty Valance]

FF gave me such fits I finally switched to google chrome.
I know, i know i’m in league with soros, the chi-coms and the bilderburgers now ....

;o)

Sounds like you got hooked by some malware masquerading as Firefox or Windows. Firefox automatically updates within the program, it doesn’t use any Windows notifications.

[CedarDave]

What version of Firefox are you running. (To find out click “Help” then “About Mozilla Firefox”).

I’m running v. 3.6.17 but it wants me to download v. 4.0.1. I’m resisting because some of my useful add-ons are always disabled when I upgrade versions so probably will stay with what I have until they stop issuing security updates.

I’ve had AVG and Avast. I’m far happier with Microsoft Security Essentials. Avast was good but the constant announcements of updates was annoying.

Just noticed that someone added some nasty keywords to your thread.

Look at the bright side, at least you weren’t ‘Rick Rolled’.
