When I open FF, I get a popup msg telling me to update Internet Explorer and I cannot connect to Facebook or Yahool Help!
This is the message: WARNING! Internet Explorer is currently out of date. Please update to continue.
I rarely use Explorer, but I did update it using the Microsoft site. I assume this is a virus but scanning with anti-virus software has not solved the problem.

Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated,
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS.
While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the web site of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to Mozilla.org. {web link}
You can sent a report to The FBI via their web site Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) {web link}
You can also report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery
Help us safeguard Mozilla’s trademarks by reporting misuse {web link}
You can check for Windows updates ONLY thru their web browser. Start Windows Internet Explorer. On the tool bar, press Safety, then select updates.
