I am getting Spam that uses Firefox's logo. What do I do?
Almost everyday I get a request to download new Firefox updates, but the address always bothered me, there was always different URL addresses and the latest one comes from "https://ooghuprank.org/". So I am thinking this is spam. But I get it all the time, and I don't know what to do about it. I need help.

. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS
While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Anytime you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org {web link}
You can report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery
Help us safeguard Mozilla’s trademarks by reporting misuse {web link}
For the last eight months, an epidemic of Fake Update Notices have been popping up all over the place. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/i-found-fake-firefox-update
