I was on Facebook, clicking to a story when an audio and screen pop up declared that a virus was on my computer. All of the pop up said that Microsoft was letting me know and included this phone number 1-888-659-1228 to contact for further assistance. Just checking to see if you feel this is legit?

That sounds totally bogus. They probably are an advertiser wanting to subscribe you to their service for a couple hundred dollars are year. Avoid! Avoid!

Do you use Microsoft's Windows Defender software on your computer, or a non-Microsoft security program? Something? Anything?

If you have any doubts about whether this was a random web ad or possibly generated by something on your system, you can supplement your regular security software with the free scanning/cleaning programs listed in our support article: Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware.
