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.

Post a screenshot, but if it's telling you that you have a virus and to call a number it's probably scareware.

How do you post a screen shot. I tried to copy and paste but it wouldn't let me. I just received this thing again.

You can press print screen key on keyword
And go to ms paint
Nd press ctrl + v

Printscreen works or use the snipping tool
