Windows 10: Email Attempted Scams/Infections

I don't know if anyone else has had this: apparent Junk advertising - "To Unsubscribe click here". So one clicks, and one's antivirus springs into action to eliminate an attempted hack. I've had so many of these lately that I just Block pest ads. The worst offenders continue coming back after being labelled Phishing [of course, they keep changing their email addresses]. In a couple of cases I've had to report them to a government action program.

Am or infected or is this an attempt at a scam?

I opened a site named Yify streaming as was told it was a great streaming site but a message poped up saying my computer was infected with a critical infection from a bug named 268D3 but I think the message was an attempt to get me to enter my details. Can
you tell me if this is correct or am I actually infected. My computer works fin e and no warnings on any other page. Is this a dodgy site?
