Mine said I had 32 threats and I made the same mistake and clicked on remove threats thinking it was our virus protection doing it's job.

Did you get the thing removed?

It was a dirty trick, saying it was coming from “Windows”.

I had my “geek boy” come over - and he removed it. He is a young kid in his early 30’s and is an absolute genius on the computer. (I told him I would ‘mawwy’ him if he were a ‘hunnert’ years older! LOL)

He said it was killing him to keep up with the calls - all for the same virus. He said his phone was literally ringing off the hook, with every call reporting the same bug.

(IIRC, the guys that put the virus together, ended up making over a million dollars, from people who actually PAID to get it removed online.)
