Help. just got the weirdest alert from mozilla firefox which started a security scan on my computer
I was reading one of the threads on here and got this alert. it had to be false because it was scanning it said windows files so i closed the tab and it all seems okay. i was actually lookong at a link o f wzzz's avatar when it happened. (link was from a thread in this forum) do you think something got on my mac. it was so strange I'm practically shaking. should i download clamxv or something like that? I saw only that it said something about finding a virus and a trojan. but since it was "scanning" windows files I thought it must be about to tell me to download something. I downloaded nothing.

The only thing I have loaded is the update for Adobe Flash which I did from the Adobe site going to it from Firefox. Is this the right "community to be asking this question?
For whatever it is worth, I am in Safari now, but I decided to try it again in Firefox and got the same alert. I have the WOT add on which said the site was safe.
I am not trying it in Safari. But there is something weird about that. Hasn't happened with anything else.
