malware download notice comes back each time I start Firefox

The notice says that 2 of the files I've attempted to download contain malware, and that the 3rd one just failed to download. I've clicked on "clear all downloads" several times, but the notice keeps coming back. I've securely trashed these files from my computer download folder, but am concerned that the malware is causing the notice to come back repeatedly. How can I make it go away?
