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.

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?
-
What other browsers do yhoou have? Do they work?
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.
-
Ok. Should I PM him?
-
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.
-
Ok thanks.

Let me know if you have more problems.
