While browsing on MSN - 2 msgs pop up: one Microsoft Security Essential Alert saying Potential Threat Details (viruses listed) &amp another from Windows Internet Explorer saying Microsoft antivirus has found critical process activity &amp clean computer immediately
to prevent systems breakage. Are these true messages from Microsoft?? i've never seen them pop up before...
I went to the Security Essentials Center and ran a (short) scan, which reported finding nothing. Do I still need to click on the messages I received? There is a "clean computer" botton on the msg from Microsoft Secuity.
