Do not click. This is almost certainly clickbait, or in otherwords, they
want to fix the lack of viruses on your machine by transfering one of
their own to you.

So further on today I've had web pages not loading or webpage menus not responding.
And if I set every entry in the noscript menu to trusted, the webpages
load fine.
I may try un-installing noscript and see what happens.
I just checked the "About Firefox" to get the version and the popup
window was blank until I set noscript to all trusted
Firefox 91.8.0esr (64-bit)
I wonder about this and the coincidence with the virus warning
But you do have to have your wits about you when setting up a
browser, and Firefox is no exception to that rule. If you don't want to
be tracked by Google, then you should always check the following...:
° Always send a "do not track me" signal to the server, not just in
private windows. (Note: Not al servers respect this. Most notably,
Google and Mozilla themselves do not respect this signal.)
° Disable the "Warn you for dangerous software", because that's a
Google spy tool. It checks every URL you visit against Google's
list of infected websites.
° Set DuckDuckGo as your main search engine and disable Google as
a search engine. Mozilla gets a considerable amount of money from
Google for making Google the default search engine in Firefox.

I ALWAYS treat messages like yours as suspect, whether they look genuine
or not. This one looks to me like a phishing attempt. If you have no other reason to suspect a virus, I would ignore it. All you need to do
to be infected is to open the message!

Further developments are a feral "Noscript" that started breaking
websites yesterday
Sites fail to load or load incompletely
For instance,
I thought to upload a screenshot of the notifications only
to find that "imagebox" site was blocked by Noscript
I had to check all as "trusted" to have it load.
Many other sites are behaving like this.
And I wonder if the virus warning is at all connected.

I agree. A sudden arrival of multiple virus warnings, AND in the
notification panel as well, is highly suspicious.
And now with the noscript extension suddenly behaving badly, I can only ponder

How have you set "HTTPS-Only Mode"

Linux is not by nature impervious to viruses; it is just that nobody has written a virus for Linux. A magazine contained an article describing
in detail, how to write a basic virus for Linux.

or not. This one looks to me like a phishing attempt. If you have no other reason to suspect a virus, I would ignore it. All you need to do

As an example of phishing, some time ago, I received an email, probably purporting to be from eBay. (At this moment, a screen has popped up with
a window border style like Mint. I was able to close it; it was from a HTML editor whose launcher was visible.) What I was trying to say was, that every link in the message was genuine, EXCEPT the one for your
login information, which went to a different IP address, i.e. somebody's home computer.
Some of these things are platform-independent. It's been a long time
since this happened, but I remember clicking on a site from a Google
search years back that immediately redirected me to something that had a notification pop up like happened to the OP, clearly meant for Windows
users, but affecting Linux Firefox anyway. The difference was that I
couldn't close it through normal means. It took my browser over almost completely. I had to resort to ctrl-alt-delete to stop it.
I don't use Google as my search engine these days, and I don't miss it
even a little bit. I use DuckDuckGo. If it wasn't the nightmare it would
be to change it everywhere I do business I'd consider dumping Gmail as well.

work anymore in Mageia?

That's odd, because that functionality is an X11 builtin. Are you
using Wayland by any chance?
Oh and by the way, you don't need a root prompt to kill a misbehaving Firefox. Just a regular prompt will do.
$ killall firefox
... will send a SIGKILL to all Firefox processes running under your
user account. If you do that from a root prompt, then it'll kill all
Firefox processes in the system, including those run under a different
UID.

I click a desktop shortcut which will su into whatever account and

Upon app exit, it logs out of the account.
Browser accounts submit an at job to tar in a pristine ~/.mozilla tar

That's not the right way to check for Wayland. Try this — this is all
one line:
$ loginctl show-session $(awk '/tty/ {print $1}' <(loginctl)) -p\

If you don't get any output from that command, then you're still using

Do you have xkill installed? That's what Ctrl+Alt+Esc invokes,
normally.

If so I would have to assume DE hotkey definition which Mageia Xfce does
not have Ctrl+Alt+Esc set. Tried it again and no xkill skull cross bones pointer shows up to pick app window/screen to kill. My Desktop xkill

Firefox does not scan for viruses so it is a phishing attempt
It doesn't happen with junk user.
The time line is erratic. Maybe it is polling
To waste less of my dwindling life span I am considering backup of

I don't have the remotest inkling how the phishing would differentiate between users on the same machine unless something was installed on my

Very good idea to always save bookmarks and whatnot. It does
not hurt to use the saved stuff and do the restore in the app in a test account to verify no loss of contents. I found out the hard way that I did not get my ThunderBird address book exported/imported correctly for

Your setup is clearly different and
doesn't trigger the same warnings.
After an afternoon on Google will I find that it doesn't matter?
Don't answer that! Rhetorical again :-)
My original "virus" warning seems to have been solved by Aragorn. So
maybe I have the time after all
I found an entry in Notifications for "discaffix". An evil site:
according to Google
And I have saved the "junk" user from destruction
with the user account.

not see your messages.
Well that's even more interesting.
And begs the question were the messages in the terminal or in app?
That is the purpose of the account, You wipe it and start with a
fresh/clean setup to have a known debugging starting point.
I can't find it myself now and I can't remember which test I used and I can't locate the original link - from Aragorn, I think

It's under the "Browser" test. I would swear it didn't work a moment
ago.
The list order has changed also.
Internet Explorer real version This only works in Microsoft Internet Explorer!
I do not pay any attention to anything with 'Microsoft' in the line.

This morning I had several warnings popup in the notification panel
I'd like to check out the site to see how it managed to get the popup
into the
notification panel.
I am running youtube channels in several tabs and a TV guide
https://www.ourguide.com.au/tv_guide.php?r=melbourne&d=02052022&w=now&t=4
and earlier on "cracked.com and theregister.com"
I'm not seeing any sort of a "virus warning" on youtube or ourguide. It's most
likely coming from an advertiser, but which ads show depends on location, browsing
history, and timing, so it can be difficult to track down the source.
Just came across https://it.slashdot.org/story/22/05/14/1838213/hackers-are-exploiting-wordpress-tools-to-hawk-scams
which may explain the cause.
