Twice now while navigating to certain websites, I have been redirected to this site (apelorissedwen.download) that says I have to click on something to fix my FireFox browser. It's obviously a virus just from looking at it, but after researching this, I found out that this is a hidden redirect adware that I can't uninstall by regular uninstall methods. It's hidden on my FF browser somewhere. What I've read is that this can become very malicious. I am very limited in computer technology, so I'm asking if any of you have any ideas on how to get rid of something like this? When I looked this up, there are a lot of "How to remove apelorissedwen.download from your computer" sites, but none of their instructions work for me. It's not in Extensions, add-ons, plug-ins, Privacy, Apps...can't see it anywhere.
Thank you, Rose. That worked! I turned off my computer, turned it back on, downloaded Malwarebytes and it got rid of the virus. Thanks for the tip!

I’m glad it was an easy fix.
