Hi,

Just recently I went on a webpage (it's a secure website) and then I randomly got a message saying "What do you want to do with tag s.thebrighttag.com?". I get that whenever I go on a website, I have used my antivirus's but neither Windows Defender or Webroot detected it. I did not download or click on any ad recently (I have never clicked on an ad ever). Please Reply, Thanks!
