Zeus.2020 Trojan
Every time I open Firefox I get 3 pop up windows. 1. System is infected! Click here to scan and clean. Via.qowin.co.in 2. McAfee: System Alert! Click here to fix the error Via.qowin.co.in 3.McAfee: ZEUS.2020 Trojan detected Click here to delete the virus Via.qowin.co.in
I deleted McAfee. I cleared the cache. When Firefox opens it opens to qowin.co.in
How do I fix this?

Need to get an idea of what's starting when you boot up. Use Autoruns and it will show you what's starting. Then use Process Explorer to see what process is driving the pop-ups with large X in the menu bar. Click and hold the X, then let go when your mouse is over the pop-up. It will then show you in the process window, what process is driving the pop up. FUN STUFF!!! ;-))

Those popup windows are on bottom corner in Firefox? if so then they sound like Web Push notifications from one or more sites you interacted with. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/push-notifications-firefox
Fake McAfee detection popups can be common.
You can also check for malware on your Windows system. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware
