I immediately unplugged from the internet and tried to run Malwarebytes that is already installed on that computer. Wouldn't run. OK, I have a CD for it although from earlier this year when I got another virus from the AARP site. Malwarebytes fixed it. Still wouldn't load so I guess I'm going to have to download a later version and see what happens or try another product. I'm thinking these things are coming from ads placed on the websites as they're both good sites and nowhere else that I go on the internet has caused me these problems. I do searches very carefully and I do ebay and another forum without problems.
Beware and update your protection now.
Oh no! It's on my desktop. Yikes!
