Hi, Firefox does not come as a zipped file. If you down loaded a supposed Firefox installer please delete it. Also please go to the 3 Bar Menu --> Help --> Report Deceptive Site

Download only from official sites : getfirefox.com , https://www.mozilla.org , https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista if you don't already have one. Windows 8/10 have antivirus protection built-in.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Uninstall any Bittorrent apps, uninstall cracked programs and delete cracks then Post in only 1 forum, then wait.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
