Receiving messages about high usage by Firefox. Is this on my computer or the network as a whole?
While working in Firefox I have pop up messages that alert me to: High Memory Usage by Firefox. What does this mean and what am I to do when this message appears?

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
