No threats found

Lindahum

My Firefox browser is so full of viruses, but SAV didn't find anything after having checked 4 miljon items on my computer. The report it made efter several hours was just : No threats found. The problem is mostly that the bugs make links with popup windows with advertisements all over the sites that I visit. I also get one or more new windows in the backgrund opened every time I open a new window - with ads. What do I do?

    Hello Lindahum,

    this is presumably not a virus, let alone viruses, and while more than irritating likely not malicious (and therefore not a threat). It has probably settled in somewhere in your Firefox profile. You could try to create a new profile (it's not too complicated but please read carefully) and check if this is clean. If it is, then you can import your bookmarks and other data from the corrupted profile.
