The paragraph below is basically an explanation of how i ran into these messages when i was a teenager, feel free to skip over it (and yes, i did put it in itallics) _I remember that when i was 15 or 16, there was a game i had on my laptop that i often downloaded "mods" for (basically user created content for the game, such as vehicles and maps, which are (usually) downloaded as a zipped folder, which contains the mod files, all i had to do was paste the zipped folder into a specific location (which is next to where the save data for the game is stored), and the game would automatically detect it, if it wasn't a zipped folder, i had to extract the contents and then put that into a zipped folder so that the game could detect it)_ I lost track of the number of times this would happen (fake virus popup) when i went to download one (my solution back then was to spam the back button in the browser so that i could return to the page to initiate the download, im not going to comment on what i think of my past actions) And funnily enough, back then i didn't know if the messages were real or not, but i ignored them regardless (which turned out to be the correct thing to do)
Nice info of which everybody should be aware. Good Job.

I was going to say the same thing. I guess great minds think alike.
