FireFox Messages that it cannot update

[OregonJim]

I have been getting messages that FireFox cannot update and to contact my system administrator. I uninstalled and reinstalled once, then started getting the messages again. I went to Mozilla today, downloaded the latest version, and when I tried to install/update, SUPERAntiSpyware flagged the file as containing a trojan.

Is this a false positive? How do I tell?

Thanks, Jim

Hi,

I noticed the same as Jim everytime Firefox has to be updated. I download the new *.exe file from the official site, double-click on it to install and immediately get this window :

After that, I abort the installation, go into SAS > Manage Quarantine, restore the file and disable SAS's real-time protection. I'm then able to install Firefox's new version without any problem and, after that,I enable SAS's real-time protection again.

Weird thing is that, if I scan this specific file (in this case "Mozilla Firefox 6.0.exe") with the right-click in Windows context menu, SAS tells the file is clean ...

Thanks for your assistance !
