Suspicious Popups

Unexpected warnings, advertisements, or urgent messages interrupt normal use.

What you can do now

Do not call a number or install software from the popup. Close the browser if possible and disconnect from the network if someone gains access.

What the symptom can mean

This can come from a setting, connection, software, storage, power, or another component. Recent changes and the pattern you notice can help narrow it down without risking important files.
