566109, Ransomware popup Posted by bobbo, Tue Aug-27-19 07:18 PM
Earlier today, I had a ransomware popup appear during a Firefox session. My usual procedure is to open Task Manager and quit the browser, and then run my various security scans. Having run the scans and restarting my computer and starting Firefox, the popup reappeared. I again ran my scans, i.e. Superantispyware, CCleaner, and Windows Security, along with Spywareblaster. Restarted, and all is well so far. In Windows Security, I turned on Ransomware protection. We'll see how it goes for now, but I'm open to any suggestions.
BTY, the Rensomware popup appeared while I was browsing in FaceBook and I tapped on a notice about Betty White.
