Firefox need to update immediately Fake Alert

Firefox need to update immediately Fake Alert is a fraudulent security alert displayed on Mozilla Firefox web browser. This alert is essential in distributing Urausy FBI Ransomware Infection and other ransomware from the same Ukash Virus group. As it is obvious from its title, the fake alert targets Firefox users, and when you try to access a particular website, it blocks you from entering that site by displaying the following message:

Firefox need to updated immediately!
Your version of Firefox (18.0) is vulnerable and needs to be updated.
Attack pages try to install programs that steal private information, user your computer to attack others, or damage your system.
Some attack pages intentionally distribute harmful software, but many are compromised without the knowledge or permission of their owners.
Start update process

Do not click the Start update process button; because you will initiate malware download.
