  3. Possible virus or scam

    As already mentioned:

    All these kind of pop-ups/alerts are fake warnings - scams. Never ever call these numbers.

    Please read:
    Beware of Phony Tech Support Scams


    Normally you just close your browser:

    11 Fast Ways to Open Task Manager in Windows 10, 11, and 8

    You might want to run a quick scan with your Anti-Virus program.

    In case you keep on getting these fake alerts:

    Follow the steps provided here: Remove Tech Support Scam pop-up (Call For Support Scam)

    Suggestion to read:


    You might want to report this to Microsoft (but you don't have to):

    Virus Scam 0x80072ee7

    To prevent such fake and unwanted pop ups/warnings/alerts , please do get a good blocker extension for your browser.

    Personally I use and recommend
    uBlock Origin
    .


    Suggestion to take the time and read everything here:

    Beware of Phony Emails &Tech Support Scams which

    • explains various methods how to get out of those fake alerts (for example
      Close Browser Application With Task Manager
      ). Make sure to not restore your browser session.
    • includes Resources to protect your browser, privacy & help prevent browser pop-up ads and scams
    and much more.

    When in doubt: run some scans, get rid of fishy browser extensions and installed programs, reset browser etc.
