I have been using Firefox now for 8 years with out a problem but now I have one. I have Norton's antivirus and the last 7 scans I have done Norton's had found and quarantined the Trojan Horse virus found in the Firefox program. I have uninstalled Firefox and re installed with a fresh re-load but after 1 day the virus was back in the Firefox program. I really want to use Firefox and am respectfully requesting someone help me re install the program please. I have attached a screen shot for you. Thank you in advance. Bernie. [removed phone# from public] Well this on does not say trojan horse put the last 7 did.

As long as Norton is quarantining/remove the threat, you shouldn't worry. You can contact Norton to have the file analyzed as a "false positive" and also see if any other Norton users are experiencing the same scan results on the Norton Community Forum.

(By the way, MSE saw end-of-service Jan. 2020)

I would say disable Norton and install MSE for Windows 7 and that should stop any false alarms.

You sure about that? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-7-support-ended-on-january-14-2020-b75d4580-2cc7-895a-2c9c-1466d9a53962
