My computer has been taken o9ver by something called a win32 false alert that mimics Widows Security. I'm doing this on my crappy notebook. Anyone will someone google this and see what the fix is? I have scanned with Avast abd now it's taken over. Even Safe Mode is hijacked.Rodger
Google it! There's a fix, but you have to do it yourself to a large extent. I had it and got rid of it by following the directions I found through google -- an I'm no computer expert. Took about an hour to do. You will have to download a couple of specific apps for the purpose, but it did work for me.

For some reason, this hasn't happened on the Linux boxen here...
I got hit with a similar one recently and only Malwarebytes would get rid of it. The free version works great.

THANK YOU ALL! Got it fixed.
Considering that some of the computer critters install executable icons that are only a few pixels in size, your current critter might have layed in wait until the moment you happened to click on that spot.
