Malwarebytes Restore Browser Page?
« on: April 22, 2016, 09:16:46 AM »
I have recently installed Malwarebytes and ran a couple of scans with it last night. It has only found two PUPs (That I qurantined) and nothing else so nothing really serious. I try to browse with Firefox this morning and I recieved this page.

https://www.malwarebytes.org/restorebrowser/index.html?gd=&ctid=CT3319613&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&ISID=MAD8C5E6E-38AD-43F4-8882-886428E16D57&SearchSource=55&CUI=&UM=5&UP=SP6F33A9C3-4797-4240-8BB9-45CB8480CBC0&SSPV=

It tells me that I potentially have infections on my browser that has made changes to my system. It has given me instructions on manually altering them but I decided it would be better to seek advice from more experienced users here who may interpert these instructions better than me and know what to do.

Is this something I should not ignore? If not, what would occur if I decide to let these potential infections in my Firefox browser stay?

Iff you install FireFox again, it should save your settings.

I have no other browsers on this PC. I do have a laptop that has both Firefox and Google Chrome but I do not use that one as much as this PC.

Do you reccomend uninstalling and then a re-install?

Since you posted in our malware forum I suggest you ignore advice from anyone except Super Dave, our malware specialist.

No, you should wait until he responds.

You can either follow the advice or uninstall and re-install FF. It was just a warning that the infections may have altered the settings in FF.
