And then it will redirect you to their site and of course want you to pay to remove the problems. The site is called Ip.masterpccleaner.com I ran a check with my own anti virus software and found nothing ! Are these just bullshiting me to try to get a sale of their product ? Thats my guess anyway but probably worth posting it here so others might get benefit from it .
