Hello, Hope someone can help me out. The last three days I have been getting a pop up that is warning me of a virus. It says to not shut down and call this number. Is this a scam? I don't want to call. I did run my anti virus and it doesn't show any problems. Can anyone tell me how to maybe check my computer for virus's. I have windows 10.
