    I have a virus


    I clicked on a link in Facebook and it must have been a virus. I'm getting a windows security page and an audio message that says "windows defender has temporarily disabled your Internet connection and computer for suspicious activity from Facebook. Please do not shut down or restart the computer.. We have detected that you may have clicked on a virus infected article on Facebook. Please call our support before your Facebook account is permanently suspended ". It then gives this number which I find suspicious 877-339-6155. It keeps repeating this message over and over.

  2. Clean the Virus

    Hi,

    Virus infection usually happens on a computer when it is exposed to an infected website or removable devices. For us to help you clean the malware on your device, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and version of Windows are you using?
    • Did you encounter any error messages related to having a virus infection on your device?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest running any available antivirus software on your PC. It would be very helpful to us if you could also provide the result of the antivirus scan process.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Follow the steps here.

    If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. You might be able to skip the step with HitmanPro. (30 day free trial if needed)
