  Hi, there is a legitimate program called Mozilla Maintenance Service, which in your programs, should show the same under Firefox version number - what is the Service of Maintenance Mozilla?. If that's what you mean, it would be not responsible for pop-ups advertising. If it is really "Maintenance of Firefox", then I would have certainly considered with suspicion.

• Starting MozillaAgent, _ex - 68.exe, program is legitimate?

  I recently had 2 pieces of malware found by my antivirus. I noticed this program running that I didn't recognize. The location is C:\Windows\Temp\_ex-68.exe. He says he's "MozillaAgent". This file is legitimate? The name of the company on the executable file is X-Ways Software Technology AG and the Version says 64.54.225.241.
  I don't remember doing something with Firefox yesterday (when this program says that it has been installed). In fact, I don't think I used Firefox as browser yesterday, since I use IE as often do not.

  Any info on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

  No, this file is not a legitimate program from Mozilla.

  Looks like your computer can still be infected by some kind of virus / Malware.

  I suggest the following resources:

  My Firefox problem a result of Malware is an article from the Mozilla Support with some good advice to avoid and fight against malware.

  To verify that your system is clean, perform the following steps (no official Mozilla tips, just good practices of personal experience)

  Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full scan. http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

  Download and launch TDSSKiller http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363

  Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials (no not official approval, but I personally recommend MSE as a great permanent anti-virus)

  Check all Windows updates.

  If you still have problems with Malware after that, I would recommend either http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/, or have your computer cleaned by a professional.

  Unfortunately the downloads/updates to Flash Player can be a way for your computer to be infected by the virus/Malware.

  And self Servive to the update Flash does not tell you about computer problems

  Only download Flash Player from the manufacturer's website.

  And if you have problems with Flash Player, you can uninstall it first.

  Here is information for you:

  Download and run the Flash Player uninstaller program.

• Antispyware Vista, "unregistered" version warnings Is - is this legitimate?

  I'm under the bombardment of the Anti-spyware Vista jump - rises, even when I tried to visit this site. These warnings are legitimate? Why is my only option to buy the 'missing' [sic] version for $59.99 for one year? This started happening last night when I opened Mozilla Firefox. Whenever I redirect in Firefox, I get another 2 or 3 or pop-ups. I find it hard to believe that the real Vista antispyware exists that could be unpleasant.

  The warnings are not legitimate. They are artifacts of malware that you are infected.

  Don't buy what you are asked to buy. Run the software like MalwareBytes anti-malware to get rid of it.

• Pavilion Slimline with Win7-64: is finalvbto legitimate or Trojan horse?

  MBAM has also this indicator...

  My question is if it is a legitimate part of HP software and a false positive of the MMFA,

• You may be victim of counterfieting with a legitimate copy of Windows 7

  I've been running Windows 7 Home premium for probably 5 years. He came from a legitimate upgrade with a valid key disk. I had two times to reinstall because of the hardware failure and she passed activation every time. Two days ago I started to get the message of counterfeit software that doesn't look like something that came from Microsoft. If you click on "click here to solve the problem, it takes you to a page where it asks you to"enter your password". I have no doubt that it is against malware, but neither McAfee nor an anti-malware program I use has picked up anything.

  Any suggestions as to get rid of it?

  The best approach for a very infected PC is a 'Clean Install' you can never be 100% certain
  that every last piece of infections have been removed.

  That said, if you have time and want to see how you can go in eliminating the virus.
  malware and bots then read on.

  Start by downloading the free version of Malwarebytes, it will detect and remove most of the viruses.
  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

  Microsoft safety scanner
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded.
  To restart a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions,
  Download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  There are also Norton Power Eraser
  http://security.Symantec.com/nbrt/NPE.asp?lcid=1033
  Note: Because the Norton Power Eraser uses aggressive methods to detect these threats,
  There is a risk that it can select some legitimate programs for removal.
  You should use this tool very carefully, and only after you have exhausted other options.

  For me on a PC friends who had more than 60 infections and there is no CD of restoration and the key code has been lost, the above "Malware Bytes", "AVG Free" software and Norton Norton Internet security did the trick.

• Legitimate question of phishing, clicked on a link in an unknown e-mail that led me to the site.

  OT: Question of Phishing.

  So I see messages similar to this, but they are all a little different from mine. I received this email from the team Microsoft account saying there was a possible security problem and I had to change my password. I clicked on the link, because it's been a long week and I'm a fool. I realized immediately after it WAS weird and he looked up and found stories about the phishing scam.

  But the thing is the link took me to the microsoft Web site. I changed my password. They send me a verification code. I went back on the Google site and it looked exactly the same. I logged in using the new password and it worked.

  I was at least smart enough to use a password that I don't use for anything else. But I panicked a bit because I clicked on a link in a bizarre e-mail that led me to the legitimate site. Any suggestions on what I should do?

  Hello and welcome!

  Make sure that your antivirus didn't pick up any new virus or malware on your system. The system may have brought you to a Microsoft Web site, but installed a keylogger.

  Using a PC clean and safe, change your password of Microsoft to stay safe. Use a program like Windows Security Essentials and Malwarebytes to scan your PC.

• Possible malware on Mac - is Adobe Flash Player install Manager application legitimate?

  I have a macbook pro and I am running 10.10 OS. My browser is Safari 9.1.

  Flash player NPAPI plugin version 21.0.0.242 is installed.

  Flash PPAPI plugin player - is not installed.

  Protection service 5/7/16-a identity to which I am subscribed sent a message saying that my Adobe password has been hacked. I changed the password.

  05/15/16, 1 AM-while you browse using Safari a popup appears saying that it needed to update my flash player. (Stupidly), I clicked on "OK".  The window asked if I wanted to install the MacGuard, MacSecurity and another application. I clicked on 'no' to each, then "continue." He then asked my administrator password to install Flash Player. Well I type the password, and I closed the window we'd send her to install some files which warned me that something was wrong. At the end of the installation has changed my Yahoo homepage. I ran Malwarebytes. Malewarebytes identified some suspicious files which I deleted. Then I restarted my computer. 

  I just noticed a file in my Utilities folder called Adobe Flash Player install Manager. It was created on 09/05/2016 and changed 12/05/2016. I don't remember installing this application. Also, I have "notify me to install updates" and I don't remember notification.  Is Adobe Flash Player install handle (located in the folder Utilities-see below) an application legitimate or should I delete it? When I impulsively tried to remove a few minutes ago, asked me my admin password. Before we continue I hope get some forum members advice. It belongs in the utility folder or do I have to remove it using my Admin password?

  

  Thanks a lot for any assistance.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, it does not appear you have received a notification of update of Flash Player false as MacGuard MacSecurity not the third-party products available for installation of Flash Player and the official Flash Player installer modifies not the browser's default homepage or the favorite search engine.

  The official Flash Player installer has an application called Adobe Flash Player install by in the utilities directory, however, at this stage, it is difficult, at best, to know if this file was created with the Flash Player installer legitimate or not.

  I have recommended to perform a clean uninstall.  See the FAQ How to perform a "clean installation" of Flash Player in Mac OS X for orientation.
