My Malware detection system has found a PUP-MindSpark.Generic in my Firefox/profiles---Is this a valid Mozilla code, if so--what does it do and how important is it--ie can I remove it & how do I remove MindSpark from my Firefox program.

Where in the Profile?

Stuff like trojans, viruses and such found in Cache are harmless.

It may be a older article but it is still relevant.

Also check for updates in your scanner as it is not uncommon for false positives to happen, especially after a recent Firefox update.
