I have Windows 7 and I was wondering if there was a version of Firefox called "Nightly"? The type of a Nightly.Ink file. Also, whenever I open 'Nightly' now, I get a popup of the program update and it says "update.exe". Is this a part of Firefox "Nightly" or is this a virus? Please answer this so I can relax. My email is [email protected]
Every night (a1) and (a2) Aurora built updated every day, so if you use such a developer version you will see an update every day (sometimes more than once a day in the case of a respin). These alpha versions are more intended to be experienced testers, because you may experience stability and regression of the questions at any time. The beta version (currently Firefox 25) can be useful for testing Web sites to see if they're going to get broken in the next Firefox release and file a bug report, if necessary.
Note that you must always install such version of development alongside a stable version and use a separate profile for each version folder.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

Original title: registry exe problem
I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file. This also occurs when you download the software, which makes it difficult, because the file is not on the pc yet. All solutions?
Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-remove-a-computer-virus
Moderator Forum Keith has a few suggestions along this line to
If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.
You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.
Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
