I keep getting the so-called critical update from a phony site. I always ignore this, but it was coming up repeatedly.

Now I keep getting the below and I have to keep exiting. Is there a way to block this? Any specific program.

I'm also curious that yesterday, I went to Firefox Help>about>check for updates and updated the ESR channel. As I did it, a file save came up called firefox-patch.js (13KB) and I couldn't figure why an update was a patch, so I did NOT go in to invoke it. Later, after restarting FF, a notice came up saying I was updated (which seemed weird but I had to go teach and forgot about it.

So now I'm nervous.

Any idea what I shd do to block this? I have disconnected the drive I saved it to, pending advice to delete.

Meanwhile, is there a program to block the darned intrusion?

Thanks

I'd suggest the following:

  • Scan your computer with malwarebytes.org
  • Install ublock origin to prevent these attacks in the future


Just a few side notes, you have a lot of add-ons, some of which are duplicates of each other. Might be time to clean up your add-ons list to improve performance. You might be able to get a newer graphics driver as well.

Add-ons, yes. Good idea. I'll give malwarbytes a try again. I used it for years and got rid of it for hitmanPro and SAS but apparently it's time to use it again.

Thanks, reinstalled MBAM then repurchased. It found 2 PUPs (oddly on old Gibson files and an old icon file) Dunno if that will affect anything, but like to have questionable things gone. Also just installed "unblock origin" but am not yet familiarized with it. Thanks for the tips. Hope they help! I'll update in the next coupla days. P
