I just had a page come up over the tab my Facebook was open on that said that I needed to do an urgent update. The publisher of the update was not Mozilla. I did not update for fear of a virus/trojan/worm.

I want to make sure that no one else falls for this.

Good instincts! Unfortunately, this seems to be hitting with a vengeance the past few days, and there's no way to get the word out to everyone.

. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org {web link}

You can report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery

Help us safeguard Mozilla’s trademarks by reporting misuse {web link}
