Getting rid of captcharesolving

poisonated

Hi all, apologies if this has been asked before but I seem to have clicked a dodgy link(not from porn haha) and it seems to have downloaded some virus to my computer. It seems that it tells me I have a virus(which I stupidly clicked on) and am wondering how I get rid of this please. I’m also wondering if my computer is safe to use please? I use chrome if that makes a difference.

You could download https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/ and see if it finds it. Or https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads/thank-you/free-antivirus-download

Both give you a premium trial and one might find whats wrong.

I don't think it's safe to use when the person using it is incapable if not clicking on stupid things over and over.

If it's not your antivirus telling you that it's a virus it might not be, it could just be a pop up tricking you into clicking into more stuff (seriously stop doing that man)

Sounds like an Indian scam, post a screenshot of the virus warning

Aye show us the warning, but for sure run malwarebytes as mentioned above and see if it finds the source of your annoying popups.
