Computer Question...
Alright, so while I was playing Minecraft, I got a dialog box from the computer that said ‘your computer is at risk’. I went to do a scan, and it said that new updates had been installed and I had to restart. Restarted, quick scan, said it was fine. I'm running a full scan right now. Could the pop-up have been caused by the updates (like it was more up to date, so I should scan now), or should I worry?
Thanks,
~ Surge.

The pop-up came up because your OS was out of date and not as capable of fighting off new viruses / malware etc.
You should be fine now, but running that full scan is a good idea anyway.

Probably nothing to worry about. My computer used to give me that message all the time. Don't worry about it unless your computer starts acting weird.

Thanks, everyone! Yeah, a full scan reported no issues. Blah, gave me a heart attack… XD
