I had upgraded to FF 4.0.1 a while ago. Last night I got a bubble telling me that FF 4.1.0 was available and I should download and install. This version does not seem to exist. What is this about?

I had installed FF 4.0.1 and have been using it for a while. I am running Win XP Pro, SP2. Last night a messge came up informing me that FF 4.1 was now available and that it would be advisable to download and install it. I did this and everything seemed to work fine but when I look at the 'About Firefox' info under 'Help' it still tells me that I am running 4.0.1. Everything still seems to be functioning well but this disturbs me as it does not seem to have been a FF message. Can you please tell me if such a message was sent out, and if so, why, seeing as the version does not seem to have changed?

Firefox 4.0.1 is the current version of Firefox, there is not and never will be a Firefox 4.1.0

Firefox 4.0.1 is currently planned to be the last version of Firefox 4, the next update is Firefox 5 due out on June 21st

Thanks TonyE. This only partially answers my query. I am still in the dark as to what I downloaded and installed. If this is not a FF issue (as you explained) then I will be running a thorough check on my system tonight.

To ensure that no malicious software has been installed, try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

Malwarebytes is usually my first choice (am running it right now) but I will use a couple of the others, as you suggest. Thanks
