Google virus alert

Has anyone received an alert from Google stating their pixel 6 has numerous viruses? Page seems dodgy asking to complete a two step process.

It's a scam. They will ask you to input credit card details etc.

What is taking you to that website?

I don't even recall going to any website that is mentioned. It's different every time it comes up. Is there a way of getting rid of it?

Hi @PaulB_1974

Does this happen on more than one website you are visiting?

Which browser are you using?

Hi Leanne,

It's actually come up at the top of my phone with a little indicator that's hard to explain. I'll try and find it. But I'm using Google Chrome, seeing it's a pixel 6 phone.

I'll start there, although I haven't seen it today.
