today I did a general search on google chrome looking for info on a newscaster on WCCO. I chose a link from the results and a page came up that said minnonecounters couldn't be found. I never heard of this minnonecounters.com, so I clicked out of it, but after that kept getting a notification popping up every ten seconds or so saying I have a trojan virus, and my computer is infected, and to click a button to scan and remove said virus from my PC. I have not clicked this button and instead ran virus scans with windows defender which says everything is clean. I tried to reset my PC with a restore point from two days ago but that did not work either. Still get the thing popping up and it says something a bit different each time, but generally tells me to fix by clicking the button to fix via McAfee and microsoft edge. I tried searching this minnonecounters.com, and have found it to be a newly registered domain, but don't know what to do with that information. I did try to call a phone number associated with this domain and it is not a phone number, but rather a fax number. Don't know what the heck is going on, but I refuse to click that button, but really want to get rid of this crap. What should I do. I am posting this on another computer. I can use the infected one but am kind of afraid to, and the constant pop up notification is sooo annoying, and scary. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Solved minnonecounters.com
