Do you have backups tiburonfirst? If not, a person who knows what they are doing can fix it in 12 hours or less. Otherwise you might be stuck with doing an reinstall. It can be done without losing your data. If that doesn't work, then you lose everything to fix it without a spare drive.

So what did you do to fix it tiburonfirst?
ran malware bytes a second time after closing firefox for that user. restarted firefox but closed the tab where i got the warning right away. atm i'm running malwarebytes in real time with the free 14day premium trial version.
