    Hey this NIS 2009 popup said the following that I took a screen shot of:

    I actually took the time to go to that specific folder but I couldn't find that specific file. Should this virus something I should be worried about?
    Please help.

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Norton said that it blocked "downloader". I don't think it was removed. If I were to delete that Firefox folder under "Appdata" and reinstall the browser, would I lose all the past history and such?
