    Microsoft Message

    Seems every time I go on You tube I get a pop up that claims it is from Microsoft and it requests my ID and password. I don't give that information and accept or cancel are the options . I am unable to click out of it and if I click cancel, I just get another pop up just like it, but with a phone number to call. The only way I can get rid of it is to go to task manager and shut it down. Is this really from Microsoft? I scanned for a virus or malware with Malware Bytes but nothing is found. Help please.
    Thanks

    It definitely sounds malware related. I will move this thread to our intensive care forum. Pls follow the instructions here:

    Sorry, Fink. The instructions are too complicated for this old gal. Thought someone would know if it was a legitimate message from Microsoft or not.
    Thanks anyway.

    No, that message is not from Microsoft. You could try a different browser, however, you really should try to get the malware off of your computer. Who knows what else it is doing with your data right now.
