probably not a virus, just pop ups or something enabled in your browser. Go through your browser and get rid of any settings that look like that. Clear your cache in the browser for all time, click all the boxes.

Run a full scan with your antivirus software (if you don’t have any other provider’s anti-virus software, you can use Microsoft Defender which is built into Windows - search for “Virus & threat protection” in the Start menu, click on “Scan options” and select “Full scan” and then click the “Scan now” button.

Once that is done I’d suggest running an anti-malware app like Malwarebyte’s Anti-Malware.

There’s still a risk that even after both of these that you may still have a virus or malware on your PC, so really the safest option would then be to back up all your files and any data such as Favorites, and then wipe and reinstall Windows.

Welcome to the party and try Malware Bytes and Stinger antivirus. Follow others instructions on cleaning up your browser.

On a related note, the first common virus that sold most people on antivirus was Michelangelo. When I was your age, the computer labs didn’t have antivirus until that one came out.

One thing you can try to do is go through window’s settings. Then hit apps, then scroll through and see if you find any super weird programs with random numbers and letters. If you think you’ve found something weird, Google the name on your phone and see what it shows you.

If it comes up on Google as malware, Spyware etc, go back to your settings screen and Uninstall it. Hopefully that’s helps you somewhat.
