Hi   !
Good for you to be on the alert   !
Would you please take a look at   this article   and especially the section :   'How to get rid of Malware ?' Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.
Also see :   https://malwaretips.com/blogs/updatesjava-com-removal/

. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Anytime you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org {web link}

Okay, while using my yahoo email account this morning it did it again. I took a screen shot of the screen before I canceled it. It's trying to download, or at least it's saying it's trying to download from aingiyili.net, which I cannot trust not do I find anything on it in a search. Screen shot is attached. At the very least the developers of Firefox should know about this. I don't know if it's Firefox or the Yahoo client that's doing this. Last week it was a different link not this one. AFAIK there is not malware on this computer. It's Windows 10 with the latest updates.

Hi   again   !
It's not a fake Java update,   but a fake Firefox update   ! Firefox will always update from within the browser and not from a random webpage. Scammers have been using this tactic, trying to get users to download and infect their computer. Hard to get rid off, as they will change their URL on a daily basis. You could consider an ad-blocking add-on like :

Thanks for your reply. Let me be 100% sure I follow what you're saying. I have noticed that this link comes up mostly when I'm using my yahoo email client. So does that mean that yahoo is allowing this "False Update". I noticed this too when I was on-line with my bank a few days ago. So again, does that mean the bank's website is allowing this to happen. I really doubt that so I'm left with Firefox is somehow allowing this to happen. And by "allow" I don't mean intentionally, it's just happening. The addon looks like it could resolve this but with all the trickery and bogus stuff on the net these days I don't want to load or install anything extra. My computer is Windows 10 with the latest updates and it has not reported any Malware. But we all know about fa;se negatives....

As long as you don't click on anything when you see these fake updates, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. By completely ignoring them, you're actually saying to these scammers : "In your face, sucker   !"
If you don't want to install that add-on, that's totally up to you of course. It might, however, keep you from getting these fake updates again.

I'm still unclear how the ad pops up in the first place. When I'm using my yahoo email, this page doesn't just pop up, it completely replaces the yahoo mail client page. I can click the back button and go back but until I learned what it was I was clicking the X in the upper right corner, which completely closed down not only this false update, but the yahoo email client as well.

So I'm trying to follow how it gets into the browser in the first place. I don't click on anything. It just suddenly takes over the browser window. So the only thing I'm left with is that the yahoo client redirected or at least allowed it in, or Firefox itself did one of those things. Which is not a good thing. I've switched over the Microsoft Edge to see if that will stop this from happening. I like Firefox but if it's allowing itself to he hijacked like this then there is a serious security flaw.
