    Phishing attacks


    Since purchasing a new Windows 10 / Edge PC less than a month ago, it has undergone two phishing / malware attacks. The perpetrators would like you to think that their messages are Microsoft generated (I have screenshots if anyone is interested). Note that both Windows Defender and McAfee LiveSafe are active on this machine.



    Is there a way to block these attacks? Thank you.
