I keep getting a box popping up on my screen stating DWPinstaller is an application dowloaded from the internet . Are you sure you want to open it ? " A little DIVX type media player then shows up on my bar bouncing up and down . I have looked in my apps and trashed this installer but still the message keeps showing up . What is it ? Is it legit ? Spam ?

Could you investigate whether this is caused by a DivX-related add-on?

Open Firefox's Add-ons page using either:

  • Command+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Plugins. Try setting DivX-related plugins to "Never Activate".

In the left column, click Extensions. Try disabling DivX-related extensions.

Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

Any improvement?
