As soon as I log into facebook with Mozilla, I get a warning that there is malware on my account from Kaspersky. I have antivirus programs on my PC and don't need Kaspersky. I don't get it on other browsers, but I prefer Mozilla. Please advise me what to do.

Check Kaspersky for updates.

See:

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
