I received a Windows Defender popup to clean my computer or my system might crash.

 

 

I use McAfee which turned off my windows defender, so why am I getting this?

 

I checked Microsoft website for alerts received from windows defender and the alert type I am getting "Critical" is not listed as one they send. the website lists, "Severe", but not "critical".

 

 

The pop up also does not have other things that the Microsoft website says it should have.

 

 

Do I assume this is a bogus pop up and do nothing, or do I hit "clean my computer" and hope I am not installing a virus on my computer

 

 

And if I do, will it work anyway being that I have McAfee? I did run a quickscan with McAfee and it came up with nothing.

 

 

Thank you.
