    Possible virus. Have Defender.


    I have Windows Defender. Lately, I've gotten popup warnings about my computer being infected w/ spyware. Most likely, it is. The messages say I've got 3 or 5 viruses. McAfee & Norton have ads offering to wipe out the viruses for a fee. Shouldn't Defender have caught this? Can't reach anyone @ MSFT to troubleshoot. The popups are persistent every time I log on. I bought MS Office 5 yrs ago. Maybe license has expired. Don't know. Any suggestions?

    :)
