    Firefox replaced by Firefox Quantum

    The other day, I turned on my computer, and Firefox was changed and so was the icon. This is a virus, called 'Quantum'.

    My computer is messed up. I can't seem to uninstall this 'Quantum' Firefox, and when I try to install the real Firefox, my computer doesn't seem to recognise the exe file extensions. Also, if I connect anything to my computer to backup my data, it locks my
    file to read only on whatever device I connect. It had a padlock icon next to it.

    This should fix the problem:
    Win+X->Control Panel->Default Programs then click on "Set your default Programs", click on Firefox then "Set this program as default"

    However, you found it then it should be OK. Glad you got it sorted.

    Thanks

    I'm not sure if I did that or not.

    Can't believe if the first computer was so easy why this is happening?

    I'll be back.
