I have been getting emails with 2 rows of Chinese characters.  They are listed under lots of different subjects so I don’y know what they are until I see it.  I get a notice in my right hand screen after that  that I should run my anti virus for hackers.  I run web root but it never finds anything,

has anyone else had this and what should I do?   bj

Hello @joyhill 

 

It sounds like scareware so unless your clicking on an attachment I wouldn’t be concerned and just delete the spam. If you want a free security check contact Webroot Support.

Thanks,

Been seeing these too. Annoying but just have to ignore

 As @TripleHelix said it’s some sort of scareware or spammy conjunction of techniques to try and get you to action something which ultimately leads to you being compromised.

I’d block the domains if you’re seeing these come through and if it’s quite frequent then it could just be targeted. It will stop after a while unless you implement some sort of email protection filter.

I know Webroot have their “Webroot™️ Advanced Email Threat Protection”
