Solusi terpilih

This is a scam to try and trick inexperienced Windows users.

Firefox is a web browser and not a antivirus scanner. Also Mozilla does not charge for anything and they do not do any one on one support by phone, chat, or email.

That isn't from FF that is sites that one goes to that popups ads. That is most likely a fake site mimicking Mozilla. So you should back track what you did to get there and that will tell you where it started.

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware then such a message is likely a scam and you should NEVER respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.

  • only update Firefox via "Help -> About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
  • plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
