I recently had a fake warning page pop up, saying I had malware and should call "Microsoft". I didn't. Also when I click on a link, I often get not only what I expect, but an additional tab to some additional site. I did a full scan with Defender. I ran a few free antivirus programs. I finally downloaded and run a full check with McAfee. Nothing found in any of my scans. No idea what to try next......
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a suspicious pop-up warning alleging malware, with the original poster concerned about potential infection despite multiple scans showing nothing. Contributors suggest it may be a browser-based scam or alert, recommending updates to browser settings, extensions like Ghostery, or anti-malware tools such as Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware. Overall, the consensus is that the alert is likely a scam, and the user should avoid panicking and stick to trusted security solutions.
