I have had to shut down my system half an hour ago due to a pop up that had a virtual female voice message warning me not to try to shut down my computer.
Then I powered it down immediately.
After that I ran a full system scan. Whatever caused this or spawned this bug has to be found. It was when I was commenting here at myLot when I was locked in with my browser and couldn't exit so I had only one choice, Full system Shutdown.

@Ronrybs When I am in doubt I always do a complete system scan. It is better to keep updated also with virus definitions which can actually update more than a few times a day.

My antivirus keeps shutting MyLot down because it detects a virus. I'd hate to have to stop using MyLot because of it.

I just got a pop up to update my Adobe FlashPlayer for Windows 10. I backed out. I will go to the site the official site to make the proper determination about this so called urgent update.

@lookatdesktop come to think of it, that is what it was.

That sounds terrible. I never had such a problem.
