Clicked on a website that I scanned with VirusTotal and came up as innocuous; however, when I followed the link it directed to a website that stated I had been infected with a backdoor trojan virus, and warned not to close out the browser before calling a network administrator.
I am pretty sure this is a hoax, but wanted to vet it with this community.
I am attaching a screenshot of the pop-up I received and asking for any advice from those who are familiar with this type of malware. Thanks!
