I am getting pop ups in firefox that have no close option (close firfox program) varying sites all legitimate have it happening
The pop ups say to go to optimizeapp and freeappleprize etc. I thought at first maybe it was a problem with the webistes but it is happening often and I found this http://malwarefixes.com/optimize-app-com-pop-removal/ which has a screen shot of the same thing happening in chrome, apparently it is malware/adware. I have the latest version of NIS with definitions up to date and nothing found, malwarebytes free also nothing found. Quite a few people seem to be seeking adivce on this over the last couple of weeks with a large group of them on 1 forum mentioning it started happening for them from 10th november 2013. For me it has been a couple of weeks now.
I have also tried uninstalling firefox and doing a clean install. no luck with that helping.
I do not run flash or java plugins. I do not run any other plug in or addon for firefox.
Please help, I am not an expert in these things and am hoping norton will eventually update their definitions to fix this!
