Why am I suddenly get several attack pop ups Windows wanting to buy me their stuff of antivirus/antimalware explore?
I went to pick up a drug on my Google browser and received several alerts to attack Windows. I ran my own Avast and Malwarebytes programs and got rid of some bugs. But now I get Antivirus XP alerts that tell me I'm being attacked. I can't get down them, they reappear. I restarted my security system, and they say that everything is fine. Finally, I checked the Windows security and they simply does not have security, I have to buy it and it is connected to the Windows Explorer and I don't use that, I use FoxFire. In addition, I HAVE my own security programs. But no matter how many times I hit the X button or say NO I don't want the protection of the pop ups continue and the small icons in the menu bar lower will not disappear. How can I get rid of this? I know there were things going on between Windows and Google and Facebook and other things. What is screwing up my computer?
These fake antivirus programs can be difficult to remove... There are security experts forums that can guide you, but if you want to try self help, here is a guide on a reputable site: How to remove XP Security Tool 2010, XP Pro Defender and Vista Security Tool 2010 (uninstall Guide).
Here is another that seems to work for people: Remove XP Antispyware 2012, XP Internet Security 2012 (uninstall Guide).

Why am I suddenly get pop ups, prompting the opening of 2 files Firefox?
All of a sudden after leaving Yahoo email, I got a pop-up indicating that it was a pop up of the FF, to want me 'open' and no matter what I do
He continues to pop up. There are 2 windows pop up, a SEO https://s.yimg.comand r - sf.html (640 bytes) AND another making reference to the same thing except this one had the reference as r - csc.html (1.1 KB). The only way I can get rid of them is to keep
by clicking Cancel. WHAT HAPPENED TO FIREFOX?If these files are open, as shown by default, I remove downloads, but they keep popping up when I open the browser.
I need help as SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Thanks for the link to the similar issue, FredMcD. It seems that the new update could be the problem. I just installed the new update now (43.0.1) hoping there is not more of these problems.
I don't know what I did yesterday, but these pop-ups have finally disappeared. I have everything clear when the browser is closed, then the value of FF
There is nothing in the cache. However all that was at the origin of the problem, these pop-ups are gone.Thank you all for your answers. They are much appreciated!

I disabled this popup option in the options. Why is this happening? They are all over the screen, a few small pop-up windows and others are full-size Firefox. It's driving me crazy. It doesn't happen when I use Chrome. But I don't like Chrome. I'm on Firefox 31.0
Hi babrown, if you are not sure that your Firefox is a clean version, you can replace your program files without disturbing your settings by using this procedure to clean reinstall :
(1) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 31 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).
(2) the release of Firefox.
(3) to rename the folder (Windows 64-bit folder names)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
TO
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
(4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
If all goes well, then you can be easier.
Note: Some plugins recently installed can exist only in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\Plugins
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

The pop ups were not on the old system and seems attached to some site I open, opening multi-site. I might have to stop usingFfirefox, if this is not fixed.
Hello jgibbs99, you could get deceived by a malicious Web site by downloading a fake update - a true firefox update will contain never this kind of noise you describe! Furthermore updates are managed in-house by firefox if you are asked to download and run a .exe file to update to firefox, it will be false (you can manually check the updates in firefox by going to firefox > help > about firefox).
Please, try the following steps:
- Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
- then go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or of potentially unwanted software there (sort the programs installed for their installation date to see what he got recently installed).
- Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
