My PC has been affected by an virus and I am getting fake pop ups saying your system alert from chrome when clicking on it. It takes me to an fake website saying your mcafee subscription has expired even when I don’t have mcafee and asks me for my payment details. I immediately closed chrome, ran a security scan by windows defender and removed the threat but it comes again and again after removing it for 3 times and restarting my system. I have disconnected my WiFi and signed out. Is it safe to work on my PC now? Can I go back online? What to do Next? Please help

DO NOT EVER DISCLOSE PII or BANK/CC/DEBITCARD DETAILS.
If the pop up reappears, it means your pc is compromised. Hence it is unsafe to use the system.
Thank you for your feedback. How to get rid of it.
