Think I have a hidden virus

[Juliet]

This is coming in from Pogo. Plus it's a fake.

 

IF, you have the most recent version of Java, and Flash apps on your computer theres nothing legit on the machine that should produce these pop ups.

 

Not all Firefox user on Windows get this however once they do you have a greater chance of getting it again. Ad blocking extensions as mentioned have been a good way of stopping these malicious ads.

 

A possible workaround that seems to work for some, is to install an ad-blocker, such as -

Or, but this may be less effective - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus
