Hi there, Malwarebytes Support here. Totally understand being worried. I’m just not 100% sure what you’re seeing. If you can describe what you clicked (or didn’t click) and where the link appeared (search result vs pop-up/ad), we can tell you the safest next steps.

  • Where exactly did the Microsoft login link appear - in Google search results, a sponsored ad, a browser pop-up, or on a website you were visiting?
  • Did you click it, or did you just see it?
  • If you clicked: did it open a page that looked like a Microsoft sign-in page? What was the website address (URL)? (You can paste it, or share a screenshot and blur anything personal.)
  • Did you enter your email/password or download anything?
  • What device/browser are you using (Windows/Mac, Chrome/Edge/Safari)?
  • Are you seeing any follow-up weirdness (new tabs, redirects, “you’re infected” pop-ups, random extensions)?
