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?
Leanne.

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.
