FF AntiVirus Save

The FF AntiVirus Save is a Firefox ill-minded extension that may be installed on your machine when you visit corrupted websites, such as adult-related sites especially. A bad JavaScript code on these sites will try to induce you to install the FF AntiVirus Save on your computer. The FF AntiVirus Save may display a huge amount of advertisements in the form of pop-ups and banners, no matter which site you are visiting, change your default search and homepage, hyperlink text on some Web pages and record your search inquiries, which may be shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

A JavaScript executed by the FF AntiVirus Save will create a dialog box, which content reads 'Add FF Antivirus.' If the affected computer user tries to get rid of this dialog box and clicks 'Cancel,' instead of disappearing, the dialog box will change to another one saying 'To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.' This is a misleading content, instead of taking you out of this annoying situation, changes your screen to a full screen that will contain the message:

'Firefox requires a manual update
This update is required to ensure that you are protected on the Internet
Install now
* This update is required * Protect yourself immediately on the internet
* Internet pages are automatically examined and possibly blocked
* Increased protection against malware and viruses'

All of the above explains why the FF AntiVirus Save is considered a Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP) by malware experts and makes it a certain candidate for removal. If you are affected by the FF AntiVirus Save and wants to remove it, a trusty anti-malware tool can be a necessary help to accomplish this task.
