Hi Fidel,

This is possibly a case of malware attack. You'll need to perform remedy actions immediately as soon as you get this. 

Uninstall any or all the suspicious third party programs i.e., programs you don't know about but installed on your PC or from third party unknown software manufacturers. 

After then, download and install latest version of malwarebytes, anitmalware from malwarebytes.org and perform a full system scan. Let the software clean your system for you. 

Post back with your status or if you need further help.

 

Thanks.
