When I start firefox about ten tabs of firefox appear and a popup screen from www1.uberack-safe.rr.uu with a warning that have malware attacks and to check system immediately how do I stop this is it legitamite
And when you click the x in top right corner it runs some security thing anyway and a security analysis - mozilla Firefox screen comes up with a windows security that lets you know that your system is infected (its not as I have run AVG) and that if you navigate away from page that it will damage. so it wants you to cancel to prevent damage. When you press ok to navigate away it all shuts down if you clik on x it continues the scan of system

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
