I just realized I have no anti-virus protection program for Firefox on this personal computer. I have I.E. 9 Browser as well & run scans weekly & have M.S.S.E for protection program.

Microsoft Security Essentials should work for Firefox as well as it protects the computer and isn't restricted to a specific browser.
