I clicked everyone of them to delete and restarted my computer and they are still here. I have run CCleaner and Malwarbyt and all my windows updates are current.

Can you try another browser to see if you still see them?

We really need to see a screen capture. I'm not sure I know of any browser that sends that message. At the same time, there hasn't been a lot of reports from others to indicate this is a deceptive ad. So not 100% certain what you're seeing. It is possible you're running additional software? Such as 3rd party security software?

A very simple way to do a screen capture on Windows 10 is to press the Windows key and print screen button together. The screen capture is then saved to your pictures folder under the screencaptures folder. Then you simply upload it using the upload button and follow the simple dialog prompts.

On your local hard drive. Probably something like C:\Users\YourComputerLoginName\Pictures\Screenshots

Your keyboard may be different. I would suggest using Google, as well, to help become more familiar with using your specific setup since our help can be somewhat limited beyond the forum software.

I pushed the windows button and the button that says prt sc and if he sent it some where I do not no where it sent it to. Are you wanting me to try using a command prompt?

Do you have a smartphone and can just take a picture of your screen when it comes up?

There you go and the red bar just keeps going down the page till it gets to the bottom. 8 or 9 bars

Hi Dennis yes that's good (thanks!) waiting for IB JT to chip in on it. To me it looks like a browser-based warning message vs an advertisement, especially since it doesn't show up when you use Chrome.

I don't have any experience with MS Edge so hoping he might have some ideas.

I know that IB tests the forum out using a bunch of different devices, OS and browsers, but not sure if MS Edge is one of those.
