I have been receiving a Firefox update request stating that to install I must turn off my virus protection. Is this a real update request? Is there a way to get the update without turning off my virus protection?

You're not reading that update message completely or understanding exactly what would be disabled. Firefox only disables incompatible add-ons, not anti-virus programs.
