An official Firefox download window was presented for a security update. I did this and a few minutes later, another window appeared mentioning an add-on Firefox update. It had a hyperlink in the window for more information about the update--but the link did nothing. I was half-asleep and can't believe I hit 'next' --it began installing. I realized in that instant it might not be a legitimate update and closed the install window before it completed--am I safe from the virus it was probably trying to put on my computer?
