The wife calls me to her Win-11 PC and edge has screen warning you PC is infected and click here, which she didn't. Not sure if it was an email or website clicked on. I've seen these before and just close window and all back to normal. PC keeps getting notices in lower right of monitor to click to "fix/remove" My question where are these popups located so I can delete them? Attached are some screen grabs.

I've run defender and malwares and nothing found. other than what malwares found... and I'm not sure if it leads to fix or not?

thanks

Those are just spamming ADs in the browser ..

1. Clear Browsing Cache
2. Close Edge browser
3. Install and use uBlock Origin Lite extension, this AD blocker is very efficient and trusted (available for both Chrome and Edge).

If the problem still persists, reset / restore Edge to its original state and re-do the above steps ..
