I'm having a hard time duplicating this. Are other users experiencing the same thing?

If so, please post the device you're using, browser, etc.

I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue. I'm using a Samsung tablet and am using Google Chrome as my browser. On my tablet, I don't have any virus protection (unless it came pre installed and I didn't know it).

Not having this problem

It's been awhile, but I got another one:

It was a reaction notification from a PM, and I had gotten two notifications on the same post at the same time. My assumption was they accidentally used a reaction they didn't want to and quickly changed it as this and their reaction notification came in right after each other. (I've had other members do that before, but didn't have any issues.) But I'm not sure that's what they did, or if I just got two separate notifications for the same action.

Another factoid.

I have never had this message on BYC. However, I use Marketplace quite a bit. I purchased from two vendors recently and on messages from one I have had the notice in question multiple, but not all, times. That vendor is very active, the second a newbie. The only time I have encountered it, on a Windows 10 laptop only

I suspect this will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to figure out. The internet is beyond complex at this point, too many developers introducing new capabilities, features, exploits, attacks using knowledge and software capabilities that very few know about.

I posted way above but:

Windows 11 PC here, never seen it on anything. I even go to Third World country sites doing research, which scares me a bit, but I get nothing.
