Hi, I had a gut feeling this morning to run a Malwarebytes scan and when I came to check it there was something found.
PUP.Optional.StartPage24, C:\USERS\JARED\APPDATA\ROAMING\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES\FL0IL897.DEFAULT-RELEASE\EXTENSIONS\FFEXT_BASICVIDEOEXT@STARTPAGE24.XPI, Delete-on-Reboot, 4622, 186354, 1.0.15058, , ame,
I put it in google and went to the Malwarebytes page: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/detections/pup-optional/
Then I had restarted my computer, went to quarantine and deleted it. I did another scan with rootkits enabled and nothing was found.
When I went back to the googled file in question I found this thread on here:
Which the person thinks the problem was the add-on extension called "Video Downloader Professional" which I had.
I recently reinstalled my operating system because of an FF add-on, I don't know which, that got my gmail hacked. So I was really cautious, read the reviews and have been using VirusTotal alot but I guess.. yeah. I didn't think firefox add-ons were this risky.
I want to be sure that my FF browser is clean.
