Is 'InstallSecurityCentral_787.exe really a Mozilla file or a trojan or virus carrier. It has popped up twice while using Firefox stating I have viruses but Comodo does not agree!

A window purporting to be a 'Firefox security alert' has popped up twice when opening websites (not the same site each time) stating I have viruses performing a scan stating there are 98 viruses but listing only 9 and stating I should download a program called InstallSecurityCentral_787.exe from http:// swocmod. ce. ms.

I am suspicious that this is a ploy to get me to load a trojan or virus and would appreciate advice on the subject.

I have run a Comodo virus test on the file and it came up clean but as it is a link loader and not the actual program this is not surprising.

A Comodo scan on Sunday 05/06/2011 did not find the files listed by the alert?

That is not from Mozilla, it will be malware, do not install it.

There are many sites that will present you with a fake security alert trying to get you to install software. The genuine Firefox security alert will just warn you about a malicious site, it will not perform a scan or warn you that you have viruses installed and will not tell you to download any software.
