It's Back

Just tried to log into DD and got that "Fake" Windows Defender message claiming I should contact "X". Ignored it and rebooted. Checked my laptop, no issues according to Norton and the actual Defender on my laptop.  Remember folks. Don't fall for it. It's a scam. If you want to be certain always check your actual antivirus protection. "Never" contact those. You'll know if it happens to you as it will prevent you from closing the window or even try to click on your desktop. Just reboot.

Thanks for the heads up. 👍 Always good to be aware of those nasty lil things!

You can nearly bet 100% that it's a compromised ad server - rarely ever the web site itself.  The better the ad blocking capability you have, the fewer if ever you'll see this type of "attack".

Yup. What I figured...a scam. I've seen it.
