i just got a warning from my virus protection thing on my computer saying i got a virus so i halted internet flow and did a scan.
i didnt know what was really going on cause i dont usually get this problem but something was up cause it wouldnt let me quarentine it.
the scan was finished and it wouldnt let me even deleted it or clean it or anything just stayed, so i did another scan and i got the same problem again which is wierd.

the virus is called Possible_Hifrm

i dont know much about this kind of stuff but maybe someone can help me out and tell me what actions i can take, and what this thing actually does.

Clear your web browser's file cache. It's not a virus per say, more of a tracking cookie. Not particularly dangerous to your machine, but may cause occasional browser pop ups.

Good luck.
