When it’s more than a quick fix

If a pop-up says your computer is infected and shows a phone number, it’s a scam. Don’t call; if you already did, have the computer checked.

Questions

Are these pop-ups a virus?

Usually not: they’re website notifications. But they often push scams, so remove them.

Why do they appear when my browser is closed?

Allowed sites can send notifications through Windows even when the browser isn’t open.
