[QUOTE="firedog79, post: 490435, member: 50707"] Ok lets see if I can explain this in less than a million words. A couple weeks ago I started getting a pop up that said in part "Suspcious Activity Detected!.....System Health is Critical!" It is a blue and white screen and it wants me to click a link to "connect to sever 1" or to call the "Certified Technical Help Desk: 1-800-900-8181." The pop up address bar says it is "support.microsoft.com" which is clearly is not. I realized right away this was a some sort of scam and didn't click the link or call and figured I would just take care of it. Two weeks later no luck. I get these pop up in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge IE. Sometimes the computer will work fine for short periods of time allowing browsing but then it will either go to this pop up whenever I open a browser or will just simple not find the website I am trying to navigate to and time out. Laptops connected to my home network will do the exact same thing. What is really odd is that I was due for a new home PC anyway so I went ahead and bought a totally new home PC, hooked up it, and on my very first attempt at web connections I got this same pop up, how is this even possible. I have just a basic DSL modem and NetGear router. I have run AdwCleaner, Malwarebytes, JRT, and HItman Pro, while they did find some things on my old PC I'm not sure if it found what was causing this since it didn't seem to fix the problems. On the new PC none of them nor my AVG programs find any problems at all. [/QUOTE]
