Is this a scam?
#1
Last night I was about to start my backup when there were several pings and messages in the bottom right corner of the screen.  They said that I had been hacked, had several viruses (3, 5 or 7), that my computer subscription to Norton, and to McAfee had expired, and wanting me to pay them.  I have not used McAfee for at least 10 years, and Norton is on auto payment.  I scanned using Malwarebytes, and Norton: both were clear.

A message has just popped up telling me that McAfee payment has failed!

Th originating site is: "cupf1v0hubcc73bffrhg.mergechainsolutions.co.in"

How do I get rid of this?
