Default Virus warning

I continually get these warnings but only from Audiworld website.
Does anybody else get these warnings?
Sucks having to deal with these.

Looks like a Phish message to me; and, no, I don’t get it on any of my computers.

Have you tried calling that number to see what they say? I’m sure they want to sell you something or take control of your PC for nefarious purposes.

your browser simply got hijacked. Reset your browser settings run a malware scan and call it a day.If you're using a mobile. Just reset your browser, you'll need to google how depending on your phone.
