Hi
I have managed to let the above into my laptop - I clicked on a link within Pinterest and bang, it got me!
I have windows defender and I ran a scan but it didn't pick it up. Am getting all sorts of virus alert messages and click here etc etc. Obviously, I'm not clicking on it as I can see it is a message from the PUP.
Any advice on how to remove it please?
Many thanks
