Lots of problems
I have recently done a clean install of Windows 10 and everything seemed to be fine. However, today I am getting lots of problems. I keep getting little windows popping up saying that an 'update is recommended' for Media Downloader. I am also getting lots of sites opening up that I do not want (a nude woman on the last one). More importantly in the last half hour or so a message appeared accompanied by a voice telling me to ring a number urgently as there was a potential virus found on my computer and that serious security vulnerabilities have been found and that I should call 0800-011-9684.
Can anyone throw any light on these please. Should I be relying on the W10 virus software or should I be going for AVG Free which I have always used previously. Also, do I need malwarebytes again, which I have also used before.
Would I be better going back to 8.1 or stick with 10 and do another clean install, to clean things up again.
Just to keep you abreast of my profile, I am a 75 year old who is reasonable in the use of a pc but not brilliant.
Thanks for any help.
