I have recently begun to get a screen with an address of 'zaikipodrywacze.net that has a 'firefox' on the screen and offers updates. Fake?
This tab will just open at different times, maybe when I open a new tab but not necessarily every time. Sometimes just out of the blue. I have never clicked on it so do not know what or where it might take me but not sure why my Norton allows it. Guess I should notify them also.
