Hello, I have been receiving this pop up on my computer for months now and can't seem to get rid of it. It pops up every 5-10 seconds. I have ran Malewarebytes scans ADWCleaner scans and nothing is working! I clicked on a phishing email some time ago which may be the cause. Can anyone assist?

Hi Paul,
Msiexec is a legitimate Microsoft program. However, malware might use its name to mislead you.
The legitimate program should not be uninstalled.
Refiouthg.uno Is an unsafe website according to MalwareBytes.
And your copy of msiexec is attempting to access it.
To determine if you may have an illegitimate copy on your PC, see this link for assistance.

Hi Paul
I am Dave, I will help you with this.
That IP address just resolves to a hosting server in the USA, there would be no way to trace the cause without more information.
Have you run a full offline scan with Defender and a full scan with MalwareBytes?
