So what I believe happened is I wanted to go to Wikipedia's website, and I typed it in Firefox address window as .com instead of .org, which is what it really is.
Firefox opens up a new browser tab and this is what popped up along with audio beeping and a female voice saying your system could be infected and to call the toll free number immediately for assistance. No phone number was actually listed - it's blank in the shot below. I recall this happening to me before (maybe 1 month or so ago), but not sure if it was launched from the same .com instead of .org on Wikipedia internet address.
Scared the [censored] out of me and I hit print screen and closed the tab ASAP. Shut down Firefox and did a full scan with Malwarebyes Anti Malware and also a full scan with Bitdefender Free. Nothing showed up.
Here's a screen shot of the Firefox browser tab and also of the Firefox history when this happened. Notice all the other strange stuff in the history.
Any idea if this was an attempt for malware to load on my machine or what? Again, nothing shows up with full scans of anti-malware and anti-virus software, and nothing was caught or warned in real time from Malwarebytes or Bitdefender in real time - they do protect in real time also (I have the PRO full license of Malwarebytes).
