Beware of Fake Windows Defender Warning

Some customers are reporting a fake Windows Defender screen that appears while they are browsing the Internet. If you see a screen such as the following, DO NOT CALL THE PHONE NUMBER. DO NOT ENTER ANY USERNAMES OR PASSWORDS!

This fake screen attempts to convince you to call a phone number or enter information such as your username or password. Some of these fake screens will even use audio such as a siren or voice recording to make the situation seem more ominous.  

Also beware of the fake red X on the screen. This is not a real red X and will not close the screen.

Again, please do NOT click on the screen, enter any information or call the phone number.

Call your I.T. support person for assistance.
