Notices for 'Critical JAVA Update'?
I keep getting notices to install a 'critical JAVA update' even though I have disabled Javascript and JAVA.
Is this a real notice from Mozilla?

Hi !
These are not from Mozilla, but this is a technique, used by cyber criminals to install adware and a potentially unwanted programs on users computers.
Just to be on the safe side, would you do this please : Go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions.
When you find any : remove them.
Do the same in Windows' Control Panel => Programs.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.

I was wondering, especially since the download site was: eicharesponsecenters.net and it was not reachable in any browsers.
Will do the scans and report back.
