Sorry for inconvenience caused by this issue.

If your current antivirus software was not able to detect a virus or malware, please consider running some or all of these free programs:

These programs will scan your system and may detect issues that your other scanner(s) missed.

Sometimes malicious Firefox addons are to blame for these types of issues. To ensure that an addon is not causing the issue, please try running Firefox in safe mode. Safe mode is a diagnostic mode that will temporarily disable your addons, revert some settings and disable hardware acceleration.

If the issue is not present in safe mode, then one of your installed addons might be to blame. If the issue is still there in safe mode, then please contact us for further support.

For more information on using Firefox safe mode, please refer to this Mozilla support article:
