I recently did a clean install of Windows 10 and yesterday I ran into heaps of problems, Every time I went on to the internet I was plagued by sites that I did not want and adverts by the hundred. The internet became very difficult to use. I had a message appear, along with a voice that was telling me that a potential virus had been found on my pc and I should call 0800-011-9684 (I didn't) It also said that serious security vulnerabilities had been found.
I have run diskclean (Windows) and also cc cleaner and everything seems to be OK now but I am wondering if there is anything I can do to test that all is OK. Just now I tried to download Firefox and a message came up saying that it contained a virus and was cancelled. I will try again later.
I also tried to download ADblocker (I think its called) but it says that it is not yet available for Microsoft Edge, that is what I am using to get the Firefox download.
Any security tips will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
