I tried to download Firefox on my new Asus, and my Titanium Anti Virus program said it was unsafe; what's up with that?

I just purchased and Asus laptop, using Windows 8. I tried to download Firefox, and was warned (by Titanium) of all types of viruses, etc. etc.. I therefore deleted everything . What is this all about? I have been using Firefox on this computer for some time now and have not encountered any problems.

This may be a false positive.
Did you check the support forum for your software to see if this has been reported by others?

  • Tried to download Firefox setup 6.01 exe_ and my computer wouldn't allow said it was corrupt. what to do?

    What can I do to update the latest version? How do I know if the updates are really from you? Thanks.

    Use Help > About Firefox and hit the '''Check for Updates''' button ''(if it doesn't start the "check" as soon as that window opens)''. That feature will only contact the Mozilla update server and then deliver the update from an official mirror website. It is all done through secure connections, no chance of the update coming from an non-official mirror.

    When I try to install Firefox on my brand new desktop (which uses Windows 7) it tells me the file is corrupt. What is up with that?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Trying to download from ipod to new computer and it keeps coming up with alternative apple id

    trying to upload from ipod to new computer and my work id comes up instead of home id have never taken ipod to work so why is this happening and how do i correct it

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I think I've been infected with a virus and my other anti-virus program isn't catching it; how do I turn on Firefox's virus protection?

    For the past few months, I've had this very weird problem. Any time I'm online, what looks like a big cursor (as if I'm in a writing program or typing in a text field) will appear in random places on any webpage. The cursor flashes, can be different sizes, and comes and goes randomly. Sometimes it's almost three-quarters the height of the webpage; sometimes it's small. I mentioned it to a computer-savvy friend who suggested that the computer might be infected with a virus. I have Avira, but apparently it's not catching this virus, if that's what it is. How do I know whether Firefox's anti-virus program is enabled, and do you think it can solve my "cursor" issue?? Help!

  • I lost Internet Explorer on my new computer. I tried to download firefox to a flash drive and install it on the other computer ,but it says something is missing. I really need help.

    Please see question

    Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
    Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
    Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
    However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either.

  • I recently downloaded firefox to my new laptop and it is annoying to have my searches redirected, constant ads popping up telling me to install software.

    I do not understand why this is happening, but I do not have time to constantly close redirects and popups, I cna always go back to my old browser, Google Chrome but i wanted to support Firefox. why can't you fix it at your end?

    hello, you have a malicious addon present in your firefox profile. please try these steps:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to the firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    # finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

  • When trying to download Firefox. I click Run and a box pops up and says 0% extracting and then nothing.....no download no other pop ups

    I have tried downloading Firefox multiple times. I have windows 8. When I click on Start download and box at the bottom comes up and asks if I want to run, save, or cancel. I click run. The next box that comes up is a time bar like pop up that says 0% extracting...it never goes any further. That box stays on the screen for a couple of seconds then nothing. There are no more pops, Firefox is no where to be found on the computer. Any ideas on a step I need to take to get it to download completely?

    Try this:
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    *Start the installation with a double-click on the desktop icon

  • I am trying to download CS6 onto a new computer and the file downloads quickly but the unpacking process is moving at a speed that will take days to complete.  Is this proper or is there an issue?

    Can anyone provide any tips on how to get the stand alone version of cs6 onto my new computer in a timely fashion.  I have the serial number from my account but the unpacking process is taking a ridiculous amount of time.  When I purchased the CS6 version on an old machine the download process was speedy and efficient.

    Then it should be the same. Perhaps something on your computer is reducing the speed. Such as virus program, firewall, several background apps running, low on ram, low on drive space, and so on.

  • I have been trying to download firefox for few days now and it keeps telling me the file is corrupt. what can i do to solve this?

    every time i try to download firfox as a browser it tells me the file is corrupt.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • I just downloaded itunes to a new laptop and when I signed in, my music library was there but only songs that I had "purchased" from itunes.  I have much more music on my ipod that I downloaded from CDs a long time ago.  How can I get those songs onto my

    Hi!  I just bought a new laptop and have downloaded itunes and signed in.  When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs.  How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  Also, will itunes still recognize my ipod on my new computer when I plug it in?  I have a Dell with Windows 7 and an ipod nano, I think.  Why can't I just plug my ipod in and "sync" it?  Will that move my CD music into my library on itunes?  Thanks for any help!  Soooo confusing!!!

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • Single was downloaded and album was also purchased.  The single that was downloaded doesn't show as part of the album, but needs to be re-purchased.  What the ****'s with that?

    So I downloaded the single, Rap God and also pre-ordered the full album (MMLP2).  The album downloaded this morning, but the single that was already downloaded is not available as part of the album.  I have a 'Complete My Album' button to click, but every time I do, nothing happens.  This is super frustrating.  A song that I already purchased did not download as part of the album because it is marked as such, and now you're asking me to re-purchase the song? Has Apple completely lost their minds?
    Oh, and the digital booklet also isn't downloading.  Pretty neat.
    Any fix would be much appreciated before I f*cking launch every iDevice I own over a roof.

    Hello wengdiesel,
    I would be eager to download and listen to the available songs on my pre-ordered album as well.  I found a couple of resources that might help with downloading this purchase.
    First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted.  You can use the steps in this article:
    iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
    If the songs do not download after following the steps in that article, I recommend trying to download the songs from the list of past purchases.  As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the album, you will not be charged again.  You can find the steps to do this in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you are still not able to download the album, I recommend reporting this issue to the iTunes Store:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I am trying to download Firefox to my new computer. Every attempt to download brings up the Program Compatibility Assistant at the end of the download. I click reinstall using recommended settings but it does not fix the problem.

    Thank you, the step where I went to tools, options and then selected a product for the application worked. It was a problem with .pdf files. I don't understand how all of a sudden it changed from what had worked all along, but, I changed it back from xps viewer to adobe and all is working fine.
    I appreciate your help!
