I would also reboot and keep disconnected from the internet.

When do these messages appear?  Upon boot up?  After opening a browser window? Other? That might narrow down where to look (e.g in startup folder or registry,  browser settings, etc.

I’m reluctant to suggest major surgery and I hope someone has a good idea 

 

A middle ground might be reinstalling the OS. There are tools from Microsoft and perhaps your computer vendor to help. Wait to see if there are any other options before going down this road.

Check the home page settings in your browser.  My guess is a script got triggered that put something funky in there.  And try running the inbuilt Windows virus scan.

Starting this morning I began to receive these messages.  I assumed that they were a scam and I do not believe I have McAfee on my system.  I have not clicked on either t

the Yes or No Thanks.  But they are covering things up and I seem unable to get rid of them.

 

I did close down mail and rebooted, but they are back.  Any thoughts?
