Hello!


That’s a scam notification. Just close whatever it is, and don’t interact with it.


Have a great day!

Scam.


The scam presumably is designed to

  • Get you to buy a worthless "security" app or subscription that you don't need, will do nothing to solve the non-existent problem, and considering who is pushing it, might be the ACTUAL security threat.

or

  • Get you tp contact criminals posing as "tech support" for "help". (The only "help" you will receive ifrom them is help in being ripped off.)
