Do you have Windows 10? Are you using their new Edge browser?
I'm really gettin fed up with that dang thing
for some reason I keep gettin this same stupid message which ends up tyin it up for a couple hours, anyone know anythin about this dilemma ..... I'm back to using Chrome or IE, those never seem to get hijacked. So, who do I call?

I have only copied 1 file and a couple of the photos so far @LadyDuck and I also used Edge as soon as the reset completed. It was fine for a short while but then once again it became infected. Neither Chrome or IE was affected in any way.

I was using malwarebytes too, but I need to renew it and have to wait for more money before doing so. I still got some malware slipping in even when using it and my computer person said that's because when I've downloaded new software, I've not paid attention to disallow the freebies that come with them. The freebies usually contain the malware. If we agree to install such, malwarebytes won't warn us.

@rebelann It still takes reading as you go before installing as many will install certain decent virus protections, but they have other things added that are hidden. If we'd just install the actual program/software we're wanting and not anything in addition we'd be better off.

That's true @MarshaMusselman I usually uncheck those extras they try to install with the download I actually want.

I'll bet some of what those geeky types tell us to get our $$ is nothing more than whooey @DianneN now if one of the techies here on Mylot were to give advice than at least it isn't to gain your money which leads me to believe they are more reliable.

You would need to turn on the pop up blocker to keep that from happening.
I looked around this town for Apple PCs but didn't find a store that sold very many of them, I think bestbuy had the really expensive ones which I cannot afford.

If my old PC weren't in such bad shape I would have as well but I bought this PC new in January and my only options were windows 8.1 or 10, I have never liked 8.1 so I got 10, at least it is better than 8.1 but if you have 7 I'd stick with it.

You're right @patzanthony but it just gets bombed with those dang snags all the time, I'm back to using IE cuz even Chrome has issues, mostly that the flash is not workin.
I hear ya @marty1

I agree. The problem when I was looking for a new PC was that I only had 2 choices, either windows 8 or 10 and I hate 8 so I got 10. If you have 7 stick with it until it's no longer being supported.
Honestly, I wish they'd revamp Windows XP, that was a really good OS.

I use all of them depending on each ones situation, sometimes I'll have flash problems on Chrome so I'll switch to IE then that will have viewing problems so I'll go back to Edge .... hopefully I'll always have at least one browser that isn't having issues.

I have windows 10 and I like Edge. I get that message in the picture even using IE.

Well, that is in a way good, not that it's good mind you, because at least now I know it isn't JUST Edge. I have other issues with IE or Chrome when I use them but since I bought this PC with Win10 I've used mostly Edge. Thanks for that tidbit.

That is probably a wise decision. I bought a new PC in January and could have gotten windows 8 but I never have liked windows 8 so I took the one that had windows 10. I had been looking for a pc with windows 7 but they were no longer available by that time.
