It’s a warning that my PC is infected with 5 viruses.
And it says in another box, “ACTION REQUIRED!”
These boxes take up the entire screen and are not removable unless I leave DU.
I am not using a pc.
And I don’t have MacAfee installed either.
I don’t know what is going on.
I did contact the DU administrator and they don’t know.
They said it’s not normal for a pop up ad to take up the entire screen like this is doing.
