Virus threat

Question

I am constantly getting a message appear at the bottom right of my pc screen telling me that my pc has been infected with a virus or, that I am at greater risk of further infections.

When I have done a scan with malwarebytes it always comes up clear with no evidence of any such things.

Is there a way to stop these messages from appearing on my screen please?

Many thanks

They're browser notifications. Please see how to turn them off.

Answer 2

I did run the file and a bit of a black box appeared with nothing showing in it. I then had a message asking if I wanted this app to make changes to my device. I clicked on yes but nothing else happened and so I just restarted Windows.

No too sure if anything actually happened.

Hi Geoffrey,

To run the batch file, click "Run anyway".

By the way, the link I posted belongs to LesFerch, a volunteer in this forum. You can trust the link.

Hello Ramesh Srinivasav, thank you for trying to help with this.

I got this message when I tried to do as you suggest.

Please reset the threat history using this batch file and restart Windows:

That should fix the issue in most cases.
