They want to charge you? Sounds like a virus. What is the name of the program that pops up?

If it's that then follow the link I put up cause you'll need to go into safe mode while running another program that prevents the virus from popping up then you'll need to run malwarebyes antivirus. Are you using the same computer that has the virus?
