Windows detected potential threats that might compromise your privacy or damage your computer."   It went on to say "Error Code 0x8024402c windows couldn't install the definition update. More Information & Support Please Contact 1-855-972-7853" ....however, it did show that we had visited a website entitled: Security Error Code 0x80070424
