Earlier today, my Mozilla Firefox browser randombly closed, i tried to re oped the browser and it crashed instantly and did so everytime i tried to re open after that. I ran Avast! Antivirus to do a quick-scan and it discovered the virus ‘JS:FakeAV-GV [Trj]’. I put this file in the Virus Chest and ran firefox again and it was fine. I’m just posting to get confirmation on this virus being harmless, as it is in the Virus chest. If not, what action should i take?
