I am getting a Verizon Pop-up Virus saying my computer is infected and to call 855-598-3098 and then multiple other screens pop-up telling me to download a new Flash player which I haven't. I got this virus last week and ran Malwarbytes and Super Anti Spyware and thought it was all gone but it just re-appeared. I appreciate any help.

Once gets into the computer,Verizon Pop-up Alert will compromise your browser and modify browser setting.
