This all happened when I was informed I needed to update my Adobe flash
I'm sending this message on my old pc not daring to crash my laptop which seems the only way to switch it off
ANY help please

It is a pop up scam bentaxle. give me 5 and I will try to find instructions for you to get rid. Don't panic and don't ring the number.

What are you running ben w10 or w8 and which browser were you on?

[bentaxle]

Windows 10 and using Edge

Malware!!!

Download, install and run the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to get rid of it (and quite probably the same malware that falsely told you that you needed to update Adobe Flash Player as well!):

(NB: At the end of the installation process, you'll encounter a pre-ticked box next to an invitation to take a free trial of the Premium version of the product. Click to remove the tick before proceeding!)

Buen has given you one option, but beware malwarebytes may switch off defender.
You could first have a look in
Settings
Update and Security
Windows Defender
Then check that it is on. When on
Scroll down to open Defender
Do a quick scan. It take about 12 mins
After that. Select History
And select the all detected items icon and follow any instructions.

[Togo]

Deleting your history will not get rid ben.

I had something similar and took it out that way, my Bullguard not flagging it as being active.... Togo's is a similar way, a little more intense perhaps.

[bentaxle]

I'll get back to you all when I have tried all your advice it could be awhile being 84 rys and a one finger typist
Thank you all

[bentaxle]

Thank you all for your help I'm now up and running and Togo (Windows Defender) was off I assumed it was turned off by McAfee that I use via Bt so went with Buenchico which did the trick but me fumbling about manage to alter my DNS settings but with Bt help I put that right
Thank you all again for your time much appreciated
