It also says: Firefox Browser has detected a new virus. AND: Failure to immediately call the number provided will result in computer failure. The phone number is 1-888-***-****.

Why is the number removed? Shouldn't it stay up as a warning?
hello, it's good that you asked, but this is a clear scam. we don't want to advertise this number!
could you go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of that page and paste them here into a reply on the forum? this might give us a clue what is going on...
I'm sorry but I shut down my Mac and I am on my iPad. If I powered up my computer would I be able to retrieve that info?
yes, this was to see what extensions you have installed to make sure that this kind of pop-up was only opened by a website and not something malicious that is already active on your system.

I hope that was what you were looking for. It was accessed via Facebook which took me to this site The Trend Zine http://thetrendzine.com/trending/02c-dad-takes-scary-picture.php

Cheers!
Hi, I have the same problem before, and I searched the internet and fix this trj.dealware.stealth pop-up. You can search <removed> for the solution. Hope this may help you.

This thread was about a Mac OSX user who got a popup making a false claim and not a Windows user being infected by it.
