Becker Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I have started getting the attached threat message almost continuously and it's driving me nuts. I have run the Avast scan twice already, as well as the Malwarebytes scan. Both programs reported no threats detected. Any advice would be most helpful.

KhunBENQ Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 All browsers are bad Good supporting arguments for the recent advice to stay away from 3rd party virus scanners. Given by .... browser developers. Never used one on private computers. (other security methods apply) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
