    I opened my facebook today and got a big pop up screen saying "Windows Defender Security Has Disabled Your Computer, Call Microsoft Windows Support Toll Free +1-888-714-6121, Your Facebook Will Be Suspended Soon Because of Suspicious activity. I'm looking for a free maleware remover to download from a trusted site, I had Malewarebytes before on the old computer but never downloaded it to my new one. Did anyone ever get one of these pop up messages on your Facebook before? Can anyone help me out on what I should do so I can get back into my Facebook account, thank you..

    Download Malwarebytes from the company that created it.
    https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download

    It might come with a 1 or 2 week trial before it reverts to the free version. (I have 5 lifetime licenses so I don't deal with the free version).

    I ran the malewarebytes on my computer and it found 2 problems, it said, "PUP.Optional. Driver Res, and PUP.Optional. ScanGuard, I don't even know what they are. I opened my facebook and it seems to be alright for now, hope it doesn't come back. How often should I run the malewarebytes?

    They are potentially unwanted programs.
