aggressive marketing - win 7 virus protection subscription requirement
when i try to open firefox, i get the following a popup that says my system is infected and i am directed to purchase win 7 anti virus program. this popup stops the firefox load reiterating that a virus is in my computer. The catch is that it says for $60 i can purchase the fix. Then another popup comes up "Win 7 Antivirus 2012 ALERT" - System integrity threat! . . . it ask if you want to block the threat - yes/no. selecting no does nothing but removes the popup for a few moments; if yes is selected, you are directed to a purchase page.
