HTTP fake scan webpage 2 info needed

Notes:

attacking computer-LAPTOP is my computer???

source address-is me????

 

 

question:

is there spyware-ware on my computer sending outbound messages???

 

recently while surfing I was hit with a pop-up that said "I was just infected with a virus. click OK to perform a scan".

I didn't click OK. The thing is, is that the pop-up was from the same address that my computer is now supposedly attacking(see destination address) which leads me to think that I was infected and now is communicating with something. Both situations occurred while surfing for ebooks. What do you think??? I did a scan with Malewarebytes after the pop-up issue and nothing was found.

 

do i have a virus???

While we are waiting for the screenshot to be approved by the Mods, could you tell us if you clicked anywhere on that webpage, or use Alt-F4 to get out of it, or even used the back button to get off the page?

 

Have you cleared your browser cache?

No, when NAV caught it, it closed FFOX for me, so I didn't click anything or use alt-f4. No I have not cleared it, but I will now. Thanks. 

 

Did you run a full scan?

You might also want to run a full scan with malwarebytes just to be sure

Yep did that. I think it was blocked or a false positive from IPS.

 

The Site is a Fake scanner site, that when complete pops up a dialog to try and get you to download a rogue AV.

 

Norton has blocked the site being loaded.

Could you please do some some browsing to see if this is true? Just visit some of your usual websites and have a look if the pop up comes back

The pop-up has come up on me 3 times while searching for e-books.

 

Nobody answered my question on why the source of the attack is from my computer. Does anyone know?
