[QUOTE="Jgor, post: 417042, member: 38784"] OK, I think, after weeks of trying one program after another and going through various tech supports (got my refund from Microsoft when they couldn't figure things out) I think things may be resolved, and so simple I'm surprised it took this long. First, BitDefender found those infections. I don't know if "password protected" files are infected, and I know some of those files are just downloaded installation files for known software. After deleting those infected files, I uninstalled Opera and then did some extensive housekeeping, finishing with a complete defrag of my main HD. I then rebooted and opened Firefox, and the same Malwarebytes warning popped up. I then created a new FF profile, and - voila! - no more popup warnings! I then reinstalled Opera, and that now seems to be working without problems too. Hopefully nothing changes in the next couple of days, and I can declare victory! Meanwhile I should shoot a new backup image and delete my old ones. Thanks for your help along the way; you certainly helped steer me towards this resolution. If anything new turns up on your end related to any of the scan files, I'm certainly still on guard. [/QUOTE]
