Receive an alert of Mozilla FireFox saying: I have viruses on CPU, however, Avira software showes nothing. What should do?
While an alert of Mozilla Firefox navigation popped up, indicating that I had some ongoing activity. He said push the tab start to run a test, I did. The result is that I had a virus (Trojan and malware) on my computer. To correct, he said to download something from Creative Technologies... I have not download - not knowing what it was. My anits-virus Avira software shows nothing. Who is right/trust, and what should I do if I meet once again it?
Thank you for your help

Mozilla Firefox is a web browser, not an antivirus scanner.
This looks like one of those sites where a fake animated scanner happens (in a Windows theme) and then pretend you're infected with something false, just to let you download which will really be that infects the computer Windows run. Most obvious, that it is wrong when we get this on Mac OSX or Linux.

I am suspicious that it is a ploy to make me load a horse of Trojan or a virus and she would appreciate advice on the subject.
I ran a test of the Comodo virus on the file and it came clean but it's a link charger and not the actual program is not surprising.
A Comodo sweep on Friday, may 6, 2011 did not find the files listed by the alert?

It's not Mozilla, it will be malware, do not install it.
There are many sites that will present you a security alert dummy trying to install the software. The real security alert Firefox you just warn you on a malicious site, it does not perform a scan or you notify that you have installed viruses and will tell you not to download any software.

I would like a breakdown of what I have for mozilla firefox, but I'm looking in the wrong place or I do not have a firewall?
Hello
Firefox is a web browser and, while it has security features included, does not come with a firewall.
I noticed that you are using Windows 7. Who doesn't have a firewall, the parameters that are accessible via the control panel.
I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look at another solution for you.

Whenever I go to Firefox, I get a message that says I don't have the latest version of the software. Why do I get it? The next screen says that you have the latest version of the software. Do not understand what is happening.
The old Google Firefox page has not been updated since the time of Firefox 3.6. So, if you really like this page, I think you're stuck with this message.
From Firefox 4, the default homepage is Subject: House which is a page generated internally.

Hello, this looks like a problem maybe caused by adware on your pc. Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search

I downloaded the most SlimCleaner but everything I try results in the same error message. I have a few options to try. Any suggestions?
Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.
- Download the full Firefox installation program and save the file to the desktop
https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all.html
If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.
- Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
- Download the full Firefox installation program and save the file to the desktop

Is there a way to check what is fragmented and can we clean up or delete?
* original title - something stupid we do not! When we defrag and it says we have a fragmented, file why it shows which file, so that we remove it or clean? *
Hello
What exactly are you trying to do?
Disk Defragmenter groups fragmented files and folders on the hard drive of your computer, so that each occupies a single, contiguous space on the volume as well, your system can access your files and folders and save new ones more efficiently. By consolidating your files and folders, Disk Defragmenter also consolidates free space of the volume, makes it less likely that new files will be be fragmented.

I take a class any web business, and I can't find a lot of the functions that they speak.
Hello
Have you tried the Firefox zoom feature? This initiative will increase the size of the web pages.- To make things bigger, press Ctrl and + at the same time.
- To make things smaller, press Ctrl and - at the same time.
- Pour reinitialiser to reset the size of return to normal, press Ctrl and 0 at the same time.
You can also use the NoSquint add-on to change the zoom level by default for all websites at the same time. After setting your overall zoom level, you can still adjust the zoom on different sites.
With the help of NoSquint:
- After installation of NoSquint, make sure you have the add-on bar displayed:
- Click the new tab button ("+") or a box empty bar tab to the right of the item and choose the module bar on the shortcut menu.
- Click on the % in the bar of the add-on call site preferences, then click the global settings button, then the zoom tab.
- You can experiment with sizes greater than 125%, but it is not recommended that you will more than 150%, unless you have a large screen high resolution.
If there are sites that are still a concern, feel free to post their URLs.
Please let us know if this helped you!
Thank you.

Why Firefox says I have an old version of Flash
I've just updated Flash. This web page told me that I have the 19.0.0.226 Version: -.
helpx.adobe.com/Flash-Player.html
and when I checked the Internet Explorer and Chrome, they agree.
However, if I go to the page Firefox Add - ons said I Shockwave Flash 19.0.0.185 and lists the file as:
NPSWF32_19_0_0_185.dll, NPSWF32_19_0_0_226.dll
looks as if the two versions 19.0.0.185: and 19.0.0.226:are installed with Firefox running 19.0.0.185.
Is this correct?
And, if so, would it be useful if I delete NPSWF32_19_0_0_226.dll?
If Firefox was in use during the upgrade the file to the previous version, will remain on the system and marked for deletion after a reboot. However, Firefox needs to detect the latest version, not the previous version. Of after your most recent message, if you restarted your system between the time of your first post and your last post, the DLL from the previous version (19.0.0.185) has been removed.
Cyrco is not officially supported, as such, it might be a slightly different behavior from that of Firefox, which is officially supported.

My Macbook Pro says that my disk space is low. Another notice came that my Start Up disk was almost full. I don't know if they are the same thing, but I want to know how to make room. Also, how can I get rid of the useless things I let build up because I didn't know any better. Thank you.
Hi Taylorlaura, if you can use your Mac then move your own files of data on another drive, until you do about 50 GB of space.
OS x: what is 'other' space about this Mac? -Apple Support
Then download and run Omni DiskSweeper. It can show you the exact size and location of all your files. It will be the inventory of your disc from files that occupy more space. It can also give you a fairer read disk space than the Finder or storage tab of the about this Mac. If you want you can even delete files from OmniDisk Sweeper. But beware, some items may be important for your system.

After Firefox updated Dec. 9, I can't connect you to MyYahoo or Yahoo mail using Windows 8 or XP sp3. When I try to log in it States cookies are rejected. I followed all the directions for removal and confirmed the parameters. Œuvres MSIE. I tried to remove anti-ad and filter Firefox Add-ons because Firefox has started to freeze.
