Download, install, update and select Quick Scan

Answer 2

Click on the install or start button in the pop up window. Now it will start downloading. Thats when you stop it in its tracks by immediately clicking on the top right X button in your browser and close it all down,and in all tabs.

Restart your Browser be it IE, Safari, or Mozilla etc and avoid that website!

Try using different browsers if you are with Internet Explorer.

Like all Microsoft programmes it is " ripe for the hacking" because those pesky "Viraaaaaas Writers" go for the  software in majority usage so they get maximum damage infliction and the highest high or whatever it is they get from doing it.!
