Hello, 

I am getting security warnings from kaspersky about "nic-nac-project.org" Says it is related to Firefox in details?

Is it serious, does it need to be deleted? Thanks Dave

Personal note :

You'd be better off without Kaspersky (and save some money as well ) - all you need is Windows' built-in Defender (and a safe browser, which is of course Firefox).
