Can someone please help me get rid of the virus warning popup that wants me to do a scan? A popup appears, which looks exactly like the System Settings icon, and tells me that I have 3 viruses and that I must do a scan. I am including a picture of the warning as well as the URL.
The URL is:
Thanks

I have been able to stop the malware popup!
I thought that maybe it was a notification rather than a popup, so I went into the Notification Centre. I saw a suspicious looking entry in there. I have a screen shot of it attached to this post.
I simply turned the item off and I haven't seen the popup since. I haven't removed the malware, but at least I don't have to see it.
Thanks for your reply. I'll give it a try and let you know how I get on.
Thank you very much....it looks promising. I'll give it a try.
Hi Beautiful_daize.
I can't see your screenshot and I have the same problem. Can I ask you to post it again?
Thanks in advance!

Its the screenshot of the notification centre
Problem solved! Thank you very much for bringing that thread to my attention. I have deleted the popup and it hasn't appeared for over a week!
You are very welcome - this solution fixed it for me too.
One to hang onto the details for in case it happens again!
