I received an email saying to use the link to update Firefox, on doing this my McAfee security said it was a trojan and stopped the upload. I deleted the email but I have just received another on. Is ther an email address I can send it to so you can check it out.

Mozilla doesn't send email about updating Firefox from a link in the email. Someone is trying to induce you to install Malware or a virus on your PC under the guise of a Firefox update.

Thanks for your answer. I thought I could forward it to Firefox so that they could find out who was doing this.
